That's because the GPO you're applying to the TS applies to the Machine, not
the User. It's as if the User components are disabled. In order to force it
to apply to the user as well, you need to enable loopback processing on that
GPO. You can either merge the user component, or merge it with the other
GPOs that apply to the user.

You should use the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) to manage you
group policies. It has a useful modelling tool in which allows you to
determine exactly what policies get applied to any specific user on any
machine, and it should help you with troubleshooting this sort of issue. You
can download GPMC from Microsoft.

Subject: [THIN] Applying Policy to TS 2003

Hi All,

I'm having trouble applying a Group Policy to a Server 2003 machine. I can
apply a policy to any users within an OU which works fine. However I need to
apply the same policy to anyone who logs onto said Terminal Server
regardless of what OU they are in. Having read some literature on the web,
the easiest way I can see is add the server to an OU and apply a GPO link to
that OU. However that doesn't seem to work, I can also add a user to the
same OU and it will pick up the policy fine.

Can anyone help?

Cheers,

Jon......
