Re: Question on GPO

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

With a Terminal Server, you need to setup the User Policy in the Group
Policy that applies to the Terminal Server. Then, under the Computer
Configuration / Administrative Templates / System / Group Policy you need to
Enable the Loopback Processing. This will force the User Settings to apply
to any user logging onto your Terminal Server.
