Group Policy Question

-

hi all,

i have question regarding linking gpo's.

i have default domain policy applies ou's in active directory. have 1 particular ou need apply custom password policy (change amount of days before password expires).

i have created new gpo linked 1 particular ou.

my concern is, gpo created scratch, not have of changes exist within default domain policy. if go , link new gpo 1 particular ou, settings within custom gpo override applied above via default domain policy? i'd prevent sure if so.

i appreciate assistance/thoughts/feedback.
