Loopback is have never fully understood, but from what I can comprehend, if you enable loopback, no matter what settings you make for the user under the user config, they are ignored and the computer settings are true for the user.

 

GPO are not applied to admins if the apply is not checked like you said, however if there are computer configs in the GPO they are applied to the computer and the computer is not in the admin group

Subject: [ActiveDir] GPO Loopback problem

 

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
