Microsoft Baseline Security for windows 10 v2004
Hello,
I have a group of PCs that are under a separate active directory OU, that are running windows 10 v2004. I would like to apply on these PCs the Microsoft baseline security, my question is that the baseline security for windows 10 v2004 comes with 11 policies (listed below):
1. MSFT Internet Explorer 11 - Computer
2. MSFT Internet Explorer 11 - User
3. MSFT Windows 10 2004 - BitLocker
4. MSFT Windows 10 2004 - Computer
5. MSFT Windows 10 2004 - User
6. MSFT Windows 10 2004 and Server 2004 - Defender Antivirus
7. MSFT Windows 10 2004 and Server 2004 - Domain Security
8. MSFT Windows 10 2004 and Server 2004 Member Server - Credential Guard
9. MSFT Windows Server 2004 - Domain Controller Virtualization Based Security
10. MSFT Windows Server 2004 - Domain Controller
11. MSFT Windows Server 2004 - Member Server
Do I have to apply all the baseline security policies to the OU? or only the windows 10 ones, such as :
1. MSFT Internet Explorer 11 - Computer
2. MSFT Internet Explorer 11 - User
3. MSFT Windows 10 2004 - BitLocker
4. MSFT Windows 10 2004 - Computer
5. MSFT Windows 10 2004 - User
6. MSFT Windows 10 2004 and Server 2004 - Defender Antivirus
7. MSFT Windows 10 2004 and Server 2004 - Domain Security
8. MSFT Windows 10 2004 and Server 2004 Member Server - Credential Guard
Also, what should be the lining order of the policies?
Thanking you

Apply the IE GPOs to all Windows 10 and Server systems;
Apply anything with "Windows 10" in the name to Windows 10 systems;
Apply anything with "Member Server" in the name to Member servers and to standalone Server systems;
Apply anything with "Domain Controller" in the name to DCs;
Apply anything else with "Server" in the name to Server systems (including DCs, Members, or standalone).
Precedence order between these policies won't matter because there aren't any conflicting settings.
