All of the below changes can be made to this one policy.

Create a new policy in the SBSComputers OU called "Restricted Groups" and in the Delegation tab, take away "Apply Group Policy" from Authenticated Users, and give that permission to "Domain Computers".

Add the groups in Computer Configuration >> Windows Settings >> Security Settings >> Restricted Groups
