A GPO Will Have In Effect For Client Computers Not Connected To Network.

This article explains the logic behind having a�Group Policy Object in effect for client computers. Disconnected client computers will still apply the Group Policy Settings when they are not connected to the network.
�
The following will happen:
�

1. GPO will still apply to local admin account of client computer.
   
2. GPO will still apply in Safe Mode and Safe Mode With Networking Mode.
   

�
This behavior is by design. This is just to maintain the security of computer.
�
The reason and Logic behind this
�
Its all about the Computer Account and�relationship of client computer with domain.�Windows Operating System�and Winlogon service still assumes that a Computer�logged on to local computer or Safe Mode or Safe Mode With Networking is the part of a domain as long as Computer account of�local computer exist in domain or�a secure channel exists between�computer and Domain Controller.
�
Windows�assumes that the security of this computer should be maintained by a domain controller as long as it is the member of the domain. So GPO Settings will still be�applied when you log in Safe Mode or any other mode.
