Why do I need to add the Citrix machine accounts to the new group? If I
move the servers under the Citrix Farm OU the GPO will apply to them.
Then set deny apply GPO to Domain Admins group. Am I missing something?

 

Thanks for all your help.

Nearly there:- 

 

4)  Create a security group within your new OU (or wherever) and set the
GPO to apply to this group.  Add the Citrix machine accounts to the
group.

        If I understand this correctly I need to do the following.

         

        1) Move my Citrix server into a new OU called "Citrix Farm"
(name could be anything of course).

        2) Create a GPO for the "Citrix Farm" OU.

        3) Setup my custom Citrix only settings and set Loopback on the
GPO for "Citrix Farm" OU.

         

        Does this sound right?

        Note that each Citrix servers machine account needs to be added
to group which applies the loopback policy.

                Perfect!! Now why can't Microsoft explain it in that
clear of English? Thank very much for your explanation.

                Use the loopback policy.

                 

                Using this on the Termialserver computers OU will cause
all users logging on to them, to resolve the User Configuration from
this OU.

                This way, setting a User setting here, will only apply
for a user login into a Terminal Server.

                I am getting ready to deploy a new Citrix farm and want
to have a locked down Citrix environment using AD GPOs. However I also
have a large number of fat Win2k and XP clients. How do I setup the GPOs
so that they only apply when a user logs into Citrix. Do I use the
"Loopback" GPO object and if so can someone give me a little info on how
the loopback works?

                 

                Thanks for any advice / suggestions.
