Terminal Services and GPOs

I was trying to prototype a Terminal Services scenario to demonstrate
possibilities to my boss.

I thought I may be able to use TS for Admin to show how Group Policy
interacts with a session. However I cannot get GP to work in this
context.

I have concluded that GPOs only work with TS for Applications and not
TS for Admin. Is this true?

If this is the case then is it possible to set up TS for Applications
for a trial period before comitting to the necessary number of
TS-Cals?

Re: Terminal Services and GPOs

Hello AndyH,

Group policies will also work for admins if you configure them right.

If you install TS in application mode you have 90 days as trial period, after
that time you must install the licenses per user.

Re: Terminal Services and GPOs

thank you for the info Meinolf.
I thought I covered everything in setting up GP, but I must have
missed something. I'll keep trying.
Thanks again,
AndyH

Re: Terminal Services and GPOs

Hello AndyH,

Easiest part to check is with gpresult. It shows every policy applied.

But one thing that you should use on TS's is loopback processing.
