Hi Andrew

I've had a read back over the thread and I'm still curious to know:

When you open the GPO for editing, there are two sections. Computer
Configuration and User Configuration. I would expect that anything set in
the Computer Configuration section is successfully applying. Is this
correct?

Can you tell me more about the user accounts? They are domain users? What
groups to they belong to besides the groups you are looking at?

The groups you are using ... are they Domain local groups or are they groups
local to the Terminal Server only?

Kind regards
