GPO's in another OU

[DavidM]

I have two OU's, A and B. User "Bill" belongs in OU=A and
is running a GPO with the script that will put a folder on
his desktop. The folder is mapped to the server and is
called "A Folder". OU=B also has a GPO with a script that
will put a folder called "B Folder" on the desktop that is
mapped to the same server.

Now if Bill ,belonging to OU=A, becomes a member of a
group in OU=B, shouldn't there be two folders on his
desktop, one folder named " A folder" and one named "B
folder" ?

I am trying to set up this kind of scenario. But the only
Icon for the folder I get on the desktop is for the one OU
he belongs to (A) and not for the OU he is a group member
(B).

Anyone have any Ideas on how to solve this Delema?

Correct. You will not get the user portion of the Policy from OU B since
Bill user object does not actually reside in the OU.

This behavior can be changed with loopback processing.
