Re: Applying user object policy (filtering based on computer location)

Roger,
Thank you very much for your response - Not sure why I did not think of
using Loopback mode.
Ok. So I have tried it but am running into some challenges.
I have a OU called "NY DESKTOPS" - I created a new policy and enabled
Loopback processing mode (Merge). In the same policy, I enabled Active
Desktop and set the path for the HTML page. I have this policy set to only
apply to users from LA - i.e. LA Employees.
In the "NY DESKTOPS" OU there is another policy linked that applies to
'AUTHENTICATED USERS" This is the standard gpo for my NY desktops.
So in total, there are two gpo's linked to this OU.
So when I log into a computer (i'm in the LA employee group), i do not get
the settings.... Any idea why?
Thanks again.

Hello Everyone.
I am trying to set a standard desktop background for certain users. I
have the part working....
What I can't see to get around is that I don't want this to happen to all
my users. Just to users how are visiting from a different branch office.
Do I need to use a WMI filter? If so, can anyone help me with Query
design?
Basically, I do not want the policy to apply if IP Address begins with
172.22. -- make sense?
No, I cannot really follow your statements.
If you want certain user policies to apply for a specific set of
user accounts but only when they are logging onto a particular
set of computers, then you would use a GPO set for loopback
processing. Such a GPO is linked so that the set of computers
is within its scope, and the security group filtering needs to be
such that only those computers and only the users you desire to
impact have read/apply of the GPO.
Search on GPO loopback
