I love using loopback settings for terminal server environments. Drop
the servers in an OU, apply the settings via loopback and everyone has
the same user settings

HI,
Loopback only applies to the "user" settings of a policy, "computer"
settings still process normally.
Loopback ensures that only the User settings defined within policys on
the OU where loopback is enabled will affect the users that log into
machines within that OU. User settings from other policys do not apply
to the OU with loopback enabled on it.
For example, here's how I typically setup a terminal server OU with
loopback.

HI,
Sorry having a little bit of trouble getting my head round this loop
back processing or just need clarification in my thinking.
I haven't used this before and am faced with the possibility because of
a Vista roll out.
All our users currently use thin terminals and connect to 2000 servers
running metaframe XP.
I have the servers in an OU - with computers policy running against it.
The users are in a users OU - with computers policy attached to it.
So when they log in they get a combination of both.
Issue
200 users are now going to initially use Vista because of one app
that is coming from head office.
I still need some of these users to access a published Desktop to
access some apps form the Citrix boxes.
Obviously the profile is going to have .v2 and all other users have
roaming profiles.
I have Vista Users OU and policy created fine.
If I use loop back processing at the Citrix Servers OU and attach
the original users policy to that OU does this mean that when the user
logs into Citirx it picks up the original users policy and applies this.
I know a lot of these settings eventually end up in the users registry
of roaming profile but my concern is if this profile gets corrupted on a
new user is introduced that has never logged onto the old environment.
sorry for the long post.
thanks
Ronnie
