GPO for computer OU and GPO for user OU, conflict, how to override computer OU GPO over user OU GPO - office 2010

hi

I have an issue with GPO for office 2010 (default save location) and would like some help

  • I have users in a user OU called 'admin'
  • these users login to computers which are member of a OU called 'admin desktops'
  • NEW - some of these users have access to a laptop which are member of an OU called 'admin laptops'

there is a GPO  (office h:) linked to the users OU which sets the default save location for office applications to H: drive

this has worked well for 4 years but we are now configuring laptops for some of the admin users and i need to change the default save location for these laptops to:

%USERPROFILE%\DatAnywhere\HOME\%username%\

if i create a new GPO (office DN) and link it to the computer OU the office h: GPO applies (looks like user settings in a GPO take precedence over user GPO linked to an computer OU.

I cannot move these admin users with laptops to a different user gpo which only has the office DN gpo applied as it causes problem with other OU linked services (for instance our MDM solution cannot cope with this) so the users have to remain in the same admin OU (users) and I need to set something up where the GPO 'office DN' is applied if they logon to their laptop and 'office H:' is applied when they logon to their desktop

how can I achieve this?
