Managing Terminal Services With Group Policy
Friday, 16 March 2007 by Michel Roth
Patrick Rouse has written an article at MSTerminalServices.org on the subject of managing Terminal Services with Group Policy: "Windows Terminal Servers play a special role in each environment. Technically they’re servers, but they’re used as workstations in that users log on to these machines to run end user applications. Luckily Group Policy has a feature called Loopback Policy Processing that addresses the need to apply specific settings to users based not on their user account’s location in Active Directory, but rather on the location of the Terminal Server Computer Object. This allows administrators to provide a locked down environment when users log on to these specific machines, without affecting the settings on their client machine."
