Maybe.. I don't know! If I apply the GPO to Joe Bloggs though, Joe will get those settings on any PC, when the whole point I only want him to get those user settings, when logging on to PC XYZ.

Shouldn't you apply it to the users you want to receive it, as it is a user setting you are deploying (albeit with loopback)?

So, I setup a GPO with the following settings: Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Group Policy - Merge User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Control Panel/Personalization - Where I've set various options to mandate a screen saver. I then applied the GPO to an OU where my sample PC is, and set the policy to only apply to that computers account. It doesn't seem to be working in that "gpresult /r" shows the policy as being enforced in the computer settings, but the screensaver options are totally untouched. I think I've missed something totally obvious, and I'm ashamed to say I can't see for the life of me what that may be.
