Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 08ffe

Site GPO-link guidance can overstate which domain controllers and computers are affected because it omits blocked inheritance and enforced-link behavior. Correct the scope description before merge.

A rabbit maps each site with care
New nodes and edges bloom there
GPO links hop into view
SharpHound scopes grow clearer too
Documentation carrots for the crew

For a [Site](/resources/nodes/site), the linked GPO affects the site's domain controllers and computers mapped to the site's subnets. The default site also affects computers that do not map to another site. User-side settings affect users who sign in to the affected computers. A site-linked GPO does not rely on OU inheritance.

For a domain or OU, the [GPO](/resources/nodes/gpo) can be linked as enforced to bypass blocked GPO inheritance. WMI or security filtering can be used to limit the impact to specific accounts, which is important in environments with many users or computers under the affected scope.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Correct the site-link inheritance guidance.

A non-enforced Site GPO link can be blocked by Block Policy Inheritance on a domain or OU. A Site GPO link can also be Enforced. The current text excludes Site from both conditions. This can overstate the scope of a Site WriteGPLink path. (learn.microsoft.com)

Proposed fix
-For a [Site](/resources/nodes/site), the linked GPO affects the site's domain controllers and computers mapped to the site's subnets. The default site also affects computers that do not map to another site. User-side settings affect users who sign in to the affected computers. A site-linked GPO does not rely on OU inheritance.

A Site GPO link is scoped by site membership, but blocked GPO inheritance on a domain or OU can prevent its application unless the link is enforced.
