Processing is in the order that is specified by the administrator, on theLinked Group Policy Objectstab for the site in Group Policy Management Console (GPMC). The GPO with the lowestlink orderis processed last, and therefore has the highest precedence.

Domain---Processing of multiple domain-linked GPOs is in the order specified by the administrator, on theLinked Group Policy Objectstab for the domain in GPMC. The GPO with the lowestlink orderis processed last, and therefore has the highest precedence.

Organizational units---GPOs that are linked to the organizational unit that is highest in the Active Directory hierarchy are processed first, then GPOs that are linked to its child organizational unit, and so on. Finally, the GPOs that are linked to the organizational unit that contains the user or computer are processed.
