[THIN] Re: Loopback

Ok, good example, I follow.  So lets so at the domain level screen saver
1 runs after 5 mins.

In the OU1 with my TS server, I have no loopback but set but have a GPO
that sets screen saver2 to run at 5 minutes.
 
Shouldn't this GPO in OU1 still apply to change the screen saver
setting, even with loopback disabled?

Loopback is great for terminal servers.  For example, you may have a
domain policy that sets a specific screen savor to run on all systems.
However, when the users logon to your terminal servers, you may want a
different screen savor or none at all.  What loopback does is apply the
user policy settings when a user logs into a particular system that is
in an OU rather than using the OU's that the user's account is in only.
Loopback only replaces policies from higher OU's if the collide.

        Right, I realize you CAN override, but does it FORCE an override
for an entire GPO or just specific settings?
        

        I'm a little confused as to why use loopback at all?  To enable
loopback on specific machines you'd need to create an OU and put those
machines in it.  Once you have this setup, any GPO applied on that OU
will have precedence over any domain OU.  So why enable loopback if you
can just do your overrides natively with GPO precendence order?
        
        Or am I just missing something obvious?

        It depends how you do it.  Loopback will override settings at a
higher level if they are also set at the loopback level.

                Does loopback force override or just allow it?  
                
                So to enable loopback on specific machines you have to
put a TS/Citrix box in a dedicated OU with a GPO to enable loopback,
correct?
                

                Now lets say I have a domain level OU to enable screen
saver after 5 mins.  Does this still apply to the TS/Citrix OU with
loopback on?

                        One thing in that sentence. "the client" is not
the Citrix/TS client, it is the Terminal server.

                                Just want to hear from the list and make
sure that I am understanding this correctly. With loopback processing,
say on a Terminal Server, the user policy inherited from the domain can
be over-ridden by the policies of that on the Terminal server box.
However, it does not work if the user account is in an NT domain OR if
the client is not a Windows 2000 client??? Is that accurate?
