That is exactly what I had to do to make similar policies work when we set up our RDS environment using WS08 R2 over a year ago. I have a group for the users and a group for the servers that both are applied to the policy (with loopback enabled). I only added the computer accounts after it wouldn't work for just the users.
>From MS on loopback: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/231287 "Note You cannot filter the user settings that are applied by denying or removing the AGP and Read rights from the computer object specified for the loopback policy." -Bonnie From: James Rankin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, April 13, 2012 2:12 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: GPO weirdness I have a GPO with user settings that I am applying to an OU with Terminal Servers in it (Loopback Policy Processing is configured in another GPO on the same OU). I also want to apply a security filter to the user settings OU so that only a certain AD group are subject to it. However, whenever I change the security filter from Authenticated Users, the GPO does not apply even though the user is a member of the AD group in the security filter. The only way I can get it to work is by adding the computer accounts for the Terminal Servers to the security filter, which has me baffled because these are user settings and shouldn't be applied to the computer accounts, should they? I could be utterly wrong but I have checked GPOs I used in other, similar environments and I never had to add computer accounts specifically to a security filter for a user settings GPO to work. Can anyone confirm if this is expected behaviour or not?

I am pretty sure that somewhere in UK legislation there is some politically-correct drivel that stipulates I must never send or store e-mails or attachments that are obscene, indecent, sexist, racist, defamatory, abusive, in breach of copyright, encrypted, amusing, overly long, slightly opinionated, anonymous, likely to harm animals or hurt the feelings of an as-yet-unspecified or as-yet-nonexistent minority (such as extraterrestrial eggplants). Emails of this nature sent in or out of this account may be intercepted and stopped by the system, but it's a long shot. This being the UK, even if I was prosecuted for breach of said email guidelines, I'd probably walk with a suspended sentence anyway, but if I'd forgotten to pay my car insurance, I'd most certainly be hung, drawn and quartered. I am not responsible for any changes made to the message after it has been sent, in more or less the same way that cyclozine manufacturers aren't responsible for drug addicts mixing it with methadone and overdosing, so I'm glad I cleared the confusion up there nice and early. Where opinions are expressed, they are not necessarily mine. However, I don't make a habit of expressing other people's opinions for them, so you shouldn't take that statement as an indication that I am in the business of providing an opinion-expressing service.
