Your AD structure helps a lot! As far as I can see, everything looks good. A
GPO applied to a container affects every object in that container and below. You're
not using any policy filtering or blocking and that's all good too (you want to avoid
this whenever possible) I think the problem you're having may be related to the
dual settings. Now I'm not exactly sure how you're applying the two settings. The
"Automatically log off users when time expires (Locally)", is that a Local policy
on the client PC? If it is, it could be the problem. I suggest you start fresh
by removing all Local and Domain policies that you've been testing and leave just
the OU policy in place. Edit it again and ensure that you are setting the "Automatically
log off..." setting in the User Configuration portion of the Policy Editor.
Once you've done that, reboot both machines if possible. If that's not convenient,
you can refresh the policy manually via the Run command by typing in secedit /refreshpolicy
user_policy on your DC. Then log off the client and back on. If the policy
doesn't apply properly you may need to reboot the client PC. Get back to me and
let me know if that straightens it out. If not, we'll check and see what else may
be causing you grief.
