No Computer Settings for TS group policy

Noncentz · Jun 4, 2008

Morning,

I am trying to lockdown the desktop on my terminal servers via a GPO called
Terminal Services Lockdown. I used this guide mainly to get find what I
needed. The gpo is applied to the 2 TS servers as well as a TS user group.
When I log in a testuser I run gpresult and find that my computer settings
are not applying but the user settings are. Any thoughts??

http://www.msterminalservices.org/articles/Managing-Terminal-Services-Group-Policy.html

Also I remember there being a white paper out about GPO on Terminal
services, anyone know of this??

Re: No Computer Settings for TS group policy

Are the TS machine accounts added to the security filtering of the
GPO?

Re: No Computer Settings for TS group policy

Yes, currently I have 2 TS servers in the gpo applying the group policy with
full control. I also have some admin accounts denying the gpo.

When I log in as an administrator I can see the computer settings but not as
a domain user. These are my current settings for the GPO

Re: No Computer Settings for TS group policy

Run a Resultant Set of Policies for a normal user and a TS. Musat
be something in the permissions, maybe this:
> NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users Custom No

I'd also post in the group_policy newsgroup, you'll probably get
better help there.
