[ActiveDir] GPO Loopback problem

[Creamer, Mark]

We’re setting up a group policy being applied to an OU which contains 2 computer objects, which are terminal servers. Then we want to set user configuration policies disabling certain start menu options, etc.   As expected, the policy affecting the users only goes into effect upon selecting Loopback mode. The problem is, I have something enabled which is completing blanking the desktop – no icons, no start menu, no right-click, etc. Anyone know what I must have enabled to have that happen?   Also, I was (probably mistakenly) under the impression Administrators are not affected by a GPO as long as the “Apply Group Policy” security permission is not enabled. In this GPO, it is not enabled for administrators, but the GPO is still applied to admins.   Help! J   Mark Creamer Systems Engineer Cintas Corporation Honesty and Integrity in Everything We Do
