GP for Terminal Server, why is it not being applied?

[Scott Townsend]

My AD Server is Win2003 as is my Terminal Server. I have a OU in AD that is
called "Terminal Servers" for the properties of that OU I have a GP called
"TS Clients" with many Computer and users modifications. The Security is
set for Authenticated users and a another 'Employees' group to have it
applied. The Domain Admins Group has an implicit deny.

I have moved my new Terminal Server Computer to the "Terminal Servers" OU.
Sync'd the domain, Ran GPUPDATE on the TS, and rebooted the TS.


When I log in as a Domain User that is a member of the Employees group, it
does not appear that the GP was applied.

What did I do?

Thanks,
Scott<-

If the user accounts are not in that OU, the user configuration for that
Group Policy will not apply to them unless you have loopback processing
enabled in computer configuration. The links below explains more on loopback
processing and it is used quite a bit for TS. --- Steve
