run rsop.msc on that box and review  the inheritence for that particular 
setting. observe if your new policy is having any influence on it.

                Ok… My terminal servers are in a separate OU.

        I've created a new policy that allows GPO loopback (merged) and this 
policy includes 'Disable active desktop'

         

        …but it's not working L  The user desktop policy is over-riding it 
still…?

        Katy, 
        
         
        If you want to lockdown the terminal servers stronger then the 
workstations what almost the standard is you have to use Group Policy Loopback 
processing. You create a gpo and link it to the OU the terminal servers reside 
in and enable it with merge or replace option in the loopback policy. Now you 
can totally lockdown the servers without affecting the users while logged on to 
workstations. 
        There is enough material to find to lockdown a terminal server 
environment :)

        Hi,

         

        Please help me!

         

        I've been given a project to standardise about 45 machines and 2 
Terminal servers over a weekend and I think that using Group Policy is my best 
option, although I have no experience with it at all so am a bit scared!

         

        What we have:

        Windows 2003 terminal servers

        Laptops/Desktops mostly XP but a few Win2000.  

        Office 2000, Outlook 2003 (a couple of Outlook 2000's)

         

         

        What I have to do:

         

        Desktop Settings:

        Rollout new company logo to each machine and force it as desktop

        Force Marquee screensaver with the same comment on each machine

         

        Microsoft Word:

        Force Template path

        Force standard font/size/styles

         

        Outlook:

        Disable signatures

        Force Spell Checker on

        Force standard font for new emails and replies

         

        Internet Explorer (some with v6 and a few v7):

        Change connection settings from Automatic to a Proxy server with 
exceptions

        Force a new default home page

         

         

        I just have no idea where to start with all this so would love your 
advice please!

         

        Thank you so much
