loopback group policy

i am trying to get a better understanding of loopback group policy
processing. i realize that it allows you to override or concatenate
the GPO settings based on where the user is logging in. and that you
configure this setting in the Administrative
Templates->System->Group Policy->Loopback Policy option of
the gpmc... however i have not found any documentation that explains
which OU to apply this setting to.

example: i have an OU with users in it... then i have multiple OU's
with computers in it. if i want the computer GPO to take precedence
over the user GPO, which GPO do i apply the loopback settings to? do
i turn loopback on in the user's OU GPO or the computer's OU GPO or
both?

thanks for any help.

I suggest not mixing Computer Settings and User Settings in the same GPO - this restricts your flexibility and can be confusing ... if you put the laptops' user accounts into a seperate OU from the desktops, then you can use loopback processing to apply different User Configuration settings to the laptops and desktops if you also seperate out the settings you want to be different into seperate GPOs ...
