Re: What the "Local Group Policy" definition?

Hello again,

I was looking at this article, and it recommends that you apply the
"Internet Explorer Maintenance Policy Processing" setting at the default
domain level. It appears that the Citrix Loopback is the one not being
applied, thus the Local Group policy is winning. Is that correct thinking on
my part, or will applying this at the domain level casue the Citrix Loopback
to apply?

Also, it appears that I could potentially bog down the network with the
"Internet Explorer Maintenance Policy Processing" setting. Is there a
suggested setting to check when this is enabled?

Loopback processing should take precedence over the same settings defined in
local Group Policy. However in general Internet Explorer maintenance
settings can be a pain to get working right. See the link below on how to
configure Group Policy to force that IE maintenance settings get reapplied
at every Group Policy refresh that may help and understand that the user can
change those settings if he has access to the needed Control Panel in IE so
you may want to make sure that they can not via Group Policy restrictions to
IE Control Panel.

Thanks again Steven for the clarification and the tips on how to edit that
local policy. It appears that I will need to edit that local policy since
the
loopback policy is not overiding the local settings.

Local Group Policy is the built in Group Policy for that computer and can
be
edited via gpedit.msc and by default it applies to ALL users that logon
to
the computer. However settings defined in local Group Policy will be
overridden by any domain level Group Policy that has the same settings
defined for domain users for user configuration settings. Running
rsop.msc
on the computer can be helpful in determining Group Policy settings
applied
and from what GPO if the computer is also a domain member.

I need some clarification. What is the local group policy defined as?
Is
that a change that is applied to the local server or pc by an admin
user?
For
example- let's say the admin logs into the server as a user with local
admin
rights. They then make changes to the proxy settings and also the
trusted
sites. Is that considered local goup policy? Is the "local group
policy"seperate from the GPO's that are supposed to be appplied?

The reason I ask is we have 2 Citrix servers where users log in to.
Server
1 will apply a "Local group policy" for trusted sites, but server 2
will
not
apply a "local group Policy"- and so users have trouble with IE
settings
if
they are directed to log into server 2. Neither server will apply the
Citrix
loopback policy that has the same trusted sites settings.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
