You only need to set Loopback once. It's a machine setting which affect user settings. I also do the thing where I setup a single GPO label Loopback and only set the GPO Loopback setting.

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
