Policy conflicts can arise if the same policy is configured at multiple levels with different values. User group policies have a higher precedence than OU policies. Therefore, if a user within the Finance OU is also a member of a group with a conflicting policy setting, the group policy will override the OU policy. Policies at the same hierarchical level do not typically conflict in this way.If the Finance OU has "Locally applied," it would mean it's not inheriting, but it wouldn't explain a *discrepancy* within the OU itself unless multiple local settings were applied. A sub-OU inheriting from Finance wouldn't cause a discrepancy at the Finance OU level.
