Darren, thanks for the answer, but (as a loyal subscriber of Windows .NET
Magazine) let me abuse of yout patience and try to make my question clearer:

- Domain B (win2k3) trusts domain A (win2k3) with a mono-directional
external trust (completely different namespaces)
- On Domain A. users are subjected to several policies
- On Domain B is a Terminal Server (with Citrix) with a loopback policy (in
replace mode) applied to its computer account, that removes items from the
desktop (among other configurations)
- When a user from domain A logs on to the Terminal Server he sees the
effect of the loopback policy, but also the effect of the policies applied
on domain A (a logon script, in my case). I'm the administrator of domain B,
responsible for the availability of terminal server applications, and I
wouldn't like to find out that a change in the policy from domain A (for
instance, new software installation) may interfere with my servers.
So my desire is to (somehow) block the application of policies coming from
domain A when the user logs on to the Terminal Server, and I thought that
loopback configuration was exactly what I needed, but instead policies from
domain A still seem to get applied.

thanx again

andrea
