Mmm... learning. Thanks guys. Makes sense when you think of it as a registry setting that is on or off. ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Snyder Sent: Friday, July 31, 2009 3:21 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: GPO Loopback processing I can't cite any sources off hand, but I have several GPOs linked to the OU containing *only* my servers and only one GPO has loopback enabled - they all apply anyway. I would guess that it is either by design or accident on m$'s part. On Sat, Aug 1, 2009 at 7:17 AM, Wilson, Christopher <CMWilson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: 'Afternoon, y'all. I have a question about group policy loopback. Is the loop back setting good only within the policy where it is set, or does it apply to other policies, for instance in the same OU. I have always set the loopback for *each* policy with user settings I wanted to apply to a group of computers, as with Citrix servers. I am surveying the GPO's at a new job and they have a policy called "GPO loopback" with only the loopback setting applied - nothing else. There are several other user configuration policies in the same OU and subcontainers, some of which use the loopback setting and some do not. My thought is that the policies without the loop back switch are not being applied. Is that right? The "loop back only" policy has me second guessing myself. (Unfortunately I don't have access yet to run a RSOP) Thanks, Christopher
