hit reply before I could finish hehe...

anyways example loopback:

-Create an OU, put terminal servers within the OU. Depending on the
number of servers involved, make a windows group for the terminal
servers.  
- create a policy on the new OU, disable user processing within that
policy, enable loopback, set any other needed computer side values
within the policy, apply the policy to the terminal server security
group. 
- create another policy in the new OU, disable computer processing
within that policy. Define all user settings required, assign the policy
to your user groups that will be logging into the terminal servers. 

I prefer to seperate computer and user policies, but they don't have to
be.

        HI, 
        
        Loopback only applies to the "user" settings of a policy,
"computer" settings still process normally. 
        
        Loopback ensures that only the User settings defined within
policys on the OU where loopback is enabled will affect the users that
log into machines within that OU. User settings from other policys do
not apply to the OU with loopback enabled on it. 
        
        For example, here's how I typically setup a terminal server OU
with loopback.

                HI,
                 
                Sorry having a little bit of trouble getting my head
round this loop back processing or just need clarification in my
thinking.
                 
                I haven't used this before and am faced with the
possibility because of a Vista roll out.
                 
                All our users currently use thin terminals and connect
to 2000 servers running metaframe XP.
                 
                I have the servers in an OU - with computers policy
running against it.
                The users are in a users OU - with computers policy
attached to it.
                 
                So when they log in they get a combination of both.
                 
                Issue
                    200 users are now going to initially use Vista
because of one app that is coming from head office.
                    I still need some of these users to access a
published Desktop to access some apps form the Citrix boxes.
                    Obviously the profile is going to have .v2 and all
other users have roaming profiles.
                    I have Vista Users OU and policy created fine.
                    If I use loop back processing at the Citrix Servers
OU and attach the original users policy to that OU does this mean that
when the user logs into Citirx it picks up the original users policy and
applies this.
                 
                I know a lot of these settings eventually end up in the
users registry of roaming profile but my concern is if this profile gets
corrupted on a new user is introduced that has never logged onto the old
environment.
                 
                sorry for the long post.
                 
                thanks
