Hi Robert,
 
The access permissions you're playing with are in large just file access 
permissions, at least when you deny access.
 
If you look at the properties of your TS policy, will see it's get its unique 
"name", (eg {5BF1F1C5-31A7-4AA7-9F87-2A7ACAB64FFE}). Write down the first 5-6 
digits. 
 
Now go to %logonserver%\sysvol\%your_AD_domain_name%\policies. You'll see a 
whole bunch of folders with what look like classids. Each one is a group policy 
in your domain. If you highlight the folder with the same name as your TS 
policy and look at its security properties, you'll be able to re-enable domain 
admin access.
 
In future though, its far less dangerous to just to either untick the "Apply 
Group Policy" box or tick the deny "Apply Group Policy" box for user groups 
that don't want the policy applied.
 
regards,
 
Rick

Subject: [THIN] GPO Permissions


Okay I think we have screwed up big time and I am hoping someone can help me 
fix it.  We enabled loopback processing on the GPO for our TS boxes.  To 
prevent the admins from getting the policy we denied permissions to the domain 
admins group.  I had read somewhere that it was the way to prevent the policy 
from being applied to the admins.  Anyway my worst fears were realized when I 
tried to edit said GPO, denied!  Listed as inaccessible.  Is there any way for 
me to reset the permissions and be able to edit this policy again without 
deleting it and starting over (not even sure I can delete it)?  Help
