Loopback Processing

I am trying to use loopback processing to enable the screensaver on certain
computers only. The problem is when i turn it on, it seems to process all of
the user sections from all the OU's the computer is in. Is there a way I can
get it to just loopback through one user section?
 
What you describe is how group policy inheritance works. If you want to
block policies from higher level OUs from applying, then you apply the block
from above to the OU that the computers are located. However, it will block
policies on both the machine and user sides then.

You might want to be a little more specific on why you only want policies
from a specific OU to apply. Usually, in the case where you want specific
user policies to be applied to all users logging onto a machine you would
set loopback and then separate the users from the computers such as in the
below picture:

domain container

computer OU1 user OU1

computer OU2 user OU2

Is this similar to what you are currently doing with the users and computers
separated into different OUs?

Thanks for he response.
I seemed to have resolved my problem like this

domain

Computer 1 Computer2

Users
The computer 1 has the loopback enabled. So it seems that it goes through
the computer 2 side first, then back through the computer 1 side if a user
logs into a computer 1 computer. Kinda confusing, but it seems to work
Thanks!
