All it takes is '1' GPO along the path to the computer account... and
'Loopback' is on.
Remember, it's a registry setting, so that's what the system will read in a
single key.
... that said, it doesn't matter if there is more than one GPO having the
setting, but it could make debugging a problem harder. Just have one GPO apply
it.

Excellent.
Would i be correct pursuming that you can only have 1 GPO per OU which has Loop
back enabled or can you have more ?

Nice summary Darren. We need to bookmark this one for future questions. I was
too lazy to type that much so I just found a link on the web. :P

Steve-
Is a complex topic for many (including me!) so I will try to attack it from a
solution perspective. Essentially loopback is designed to help answer the
following challenge, "How do I control user policy on a particular computer or
set of computers such that, no matter who logs onto those computers, they
always get the same user policy?". As you know, GP is processed by computers
and users and the policy that a computer or user gets is determined by where
the computer and user account resides in AD, where the GPO is linked, and
whether its filtered or not. Loopback is a special mode of GP processing that
you set on a per-computer basis. When a computer has loopback enabled, any user
that logs onto that computer can be given a set of per-user policies that is
different than the ones they would normally receive by virtue of where their
user account is. The simplest example is a Terminal Server environment. A
common configuration is to create an OU called "Terminal Servers". In that OU,
you place computer accounts that are your Terminal Server machines. Now, linked
to that OU, you create a GPO called "TS Loopback Policy". In that GPO, you
enable loopback under Computer Configuration\Administrative
Templates\System\Group Policy\User Group Policy Loopback Processing Mode. When
you enable the policy, you have two options-merge or replace. Merge says,
"first apply the user's normal user policies (as if they were logging into
their normal workstation) then apply the loopback user settings". Replace says,
"Just apply the loopback user settings". I generally tell people to choose
"replace" mode unless you have a specific requirement for merging.
So, now that loopback is enabled, on that same TS GPO (assuming the simplest
case) under User Configuration, you can set all of the loopback user settings
that you want to apply to users logging into these TS boxes. When the user logs
on, these user settings are applied instead of their "home" ones.
Hope that helps.
Darren
