It is *technically* true that any server in the corresponding OU should
receive the group policy but I saw many many examples where some group
policy settings are not successfully applied *for some reason* altough
it should. It is certain that if everything is OK group policy is
successfully applied to all servers but it may be interrupted by a
plenty of technical reasons that we mostly meet in large enterprise
systems.( replication problems, time synchronzation, DNS problems,
connectivity etc.) As Laura says, " Any server that is **supposed** to
receive a policy should receive the policy.". Unfortunately we can only
**suppose** that all the servers will apply the policy in the time
interval we expect in a large and distributed domain.

No, it isn't. Any server that is supposed to receive a policy
*should* receive the policy.
