Yes, exactly. The idea here is that if you have a special machine that needs to behave differently for users who log onto it, then you enable loopback processing on that machine. Its used often in Terminal Server scenarios. In that case, with loopback processing enabled, the user policy that applies to the user logging onto that machine is not their normal policy that they would get at their normal workstation, but instead is whatever user policy is defined for that machine. You can actually choose to replace their normal user settings or merge them with the loopback policies.

This would be the easiest way to prevent that policy from applying. If the policy you're delivering is a user-specific one, then you could use loopback policy on the machine to override the user's "normal" policy with one that is specific for this machine.

Would block inheritance do the trick? IE: We have 7 min idle time for users to lock stations. However, this is a problem when someone is doing a presentation and they are sitting at a slide for 10 mins.
