Re: Group Policy By User

Hello Grant,

If you still will do it create an OU and move the normal users to it, then configure your GPO and link it to the OU, so it will only effect this OU nothing else.

But think really about an additional server.

I am running a server with Windows Server 2003 Standard. I have
Active Directory setup as well as Terminal Services. I have 5 users
who will be logging in through Terminal Services and I would like to
limit what they can do. I know that this can be done with Group
Policy but how can I set it up so that I can still log in through
Terminal Services without having the restrictions applied to me?




Thanks for the responses!

I am only using the server for Terminal Services and email. If there is a way that I can configure the server without Active Directory and still set policies for all the accounts but one, let me know. I'm open to ideas. I would really prefer not to buy another server. I've already forked out a lot for licenses and since I'm only using it for two things, would prefer not to buy more.

Regarding the solution you posted, what do you mean by OU? I assume GPO means Group Policy, correct?
