question about win 2008 ts and loopback

[Micke__1]

Hi,
I've some quick questions. I've read alot about this, and couldnt find an
exact answer.
We running 2008 terminalservices in 2003 domain.

I created a central store for my admx templates. I've copied english
template from ts and swedish from a vista computer. Nothing crazy with that,
right?

Created one OU with my TS, and one gpo on that. Apply permissions is for
me(for testing) and for the TS server.

I use loopback policy. 2 questions.
1. When we us loopback with replace. How does it work? Doesn't it use the
users usersettings then, or is it only replace the userpolicy that is in
conflict?

Reason is that I dont want any user polcy to be applied when I log on to the
TS.

2. When I put in shortcuts on desktop with policy, it doesnt work when I use
it on computer settings, but it works when I set it on usersettings on the TS
gpo. Any clue why?

Re: question about win 2008 ts and loopback

When you use "loopback processing" with "Replace", it means that
all user settings are taken from the GPOs that are linked to the OU
in which the TS computer account is located.
The GPOs linked to the OU which contains the user accounts is *not*
applied at all.
