Group Policy has two main configurations. One is targeted computer settings, and the other is targeted user configuration settings. When we apply user configuration to a user located in the OU, it doesn't matter which computer they log in to; their policy settings will follow them. As an example, let's assume that the user Peter is located under the Sales OU. The computer he usually logs in to is also located under the same OU. However, he occasionally logs in to the meeting room laptop that is located under the IT operations OU. The IT operations OU has its own computer configuration and user configuration policies assigned. But when Peter logs in to it, he still has the same settings he had in the Sales OU PC. This is the normal behavior of group policies. However, there are situations where it needs to apply user policy settings based on the computer the user logs in to.
