[THIN] Re: Farm Policy

that's about it in a nutshell. even though the rules themselves conflict, 
you are applying the policies differently. anyone who falls out of the 
scope of number one will not get that setting thus getting the applied 
setting of policy 2 to autocreate the printers.

[THIN] Farm Policy






I have a question on policies, not GPO's but Citrix policies within a 
farm. I believe I know the answer but I just want to verify. Higher ranked 
policies take precedence, 1 over 2, 2 over 3, etc. So if I have a 
conflicting setting where one policy says to auto create printers and the 
one above it says to NOT auto create printers, then auto created printers 
won't happen. That much is pretty straight forward but what if the 
policies are applied to differently? Say the 2nd ranked policy of enabling 
autocreated printers is applied to all servers in the farm and the higher 
ranked disabling of auto created printers is applied only to a group of 
users?.my assumption here is that all users outside of that group will 
have auto created printers.
In other words - 

Policy                  Priority                Applied to 
No_auto_creation             1          Engineering_Group 
Auto-Create_Printers         2          All Servers in farm 

In the above scenario, even though the settings are conflicting, since the 
higher ranked policy is only being applied to the engineering group, all 
other will have auto created printers correct?
