    Hi Bill.

    I am a bit confused. It still is not working in the TERMSVR = OU?? If not
    it may help to make a few more changes to user configuration it to see if
    that motivates it to work. When you look at the Group Policy properties it's
    revisions for user should be greater than zero. Also if you have an XP Pro
    computer in the domain you can use the Group Policy Management Console which
    is terrific for managing and troubleshooting Group Policies. If you do that
    be sure that the XP Pro computer is secure as you will need to logon to it
    as a domain admin to get it to work. I would also run the netdiag support
    tool on the TS server to see if it reports any problems related to dns,
    dclist, kerberos, or trust/secure channel. Such problems can cause Group
    Policies to not apply as intended. --- Steve
