Re: Complex GPO Configuration Issue

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



Loopback processing is best used at the OU level where you have only one GPO
configured enabling loopback processing and then configured with the user
configuration settings applied to users when they logon to those computers.
If you want different user configuration settings applied for another group
of computers then create another OU for those computers. --- Steve
