Re: Loopback processing not working

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

Hi Paul.
I tried what you suggested but that doesn't work at all. It sounded like a
good idea, but I still get the screensaver policy being applied. Just to
make sure I'm doing what you suggested, here is what I did.

I have my computer in a securty group (this is the one that I DON'T want to
have the screensaver on). I went to group policy management and selected the
screensaver policy. I then went to the delegation tab, clicked on the
advanced button, and selected the security group that my computer was in. I
then changed the permissions to deny "read" and deny "apply group policy".

I checked the modeling wizard again, and found and extra bit of info. While
it is true that both policies are being applied, the "remove screensaver"
policy is only partially being applied. By that, I mean it is listed as
being applied under the Computer Configuration section (where the loopback
settings are), and it is saying that it is being denied under the user
configuration section (where all the screensaver settings are). This is true
BOTH with the changes you suggested and without (I took out the deny
permissions and reran the query to see if there were changes).

It appears as though if you have a policy filtered by a computer group then
it ignores any of the user settings.
