Okay.
Now let's kind of walk through what it looks like to create a policy with loopback enabled.
So I've got a GPO.
I call it the kiosk GPO.
And I'm going to go ahead and edit it.
And if I come in under computer configuration policies, admin templates and system group policy.
And what you'll see is if I come down here to configure user group policy loopback processing mode.
What I'll do is go ahead and enable this and I can choose from merge or replace mode.
For my scenario.
Just as an example, I'm going to go ahead and use replace mode.
And now I've got this policy being applied at an o u I've called kiosks.
And in the kiosk.
So you you'll see I have a Windows seven or Windows ten client machine.
I might have multiple machines in here or even RDC servers.
I typically and I'll talk about this in a little bit.
But I typically recommend segregating those.
Kind of special use loop back machines into their own IOU because it makes it a lot easier to manage
those.
And now, now that I've got my kiosk, GPO and its enabling loopback policy.
And oh, by the way, you don't need to have loopback policy.
The actual setting that I just said set on any more than one GPO.
So if you might have multiple GPOs linked to this kiosk so you.
But you don't have to have loopback enabled on all of them.
That setting only needs to be processed once by the computer in order to get loop back policy.
So as long as it's enabled on this one GPL, then I'm good.
For you know, any other GPOs that I want to link up to the so you so I can either there's a couple
of ways I can approach this and I'll talk a little more about these scenarios in a bit.
But I can either create my user settings inside this kiosk GPO, or I can create separate GPOs.
That set those user settings as well.
So I could have for example, I'm going to go ahead and create and link a new GPO that we can call it
kiosk user settings.
And then here is where I'll set whatever settings I want on the user configuration side.
That I want to apply to users that log into these kiosk machines.
So strictly on this side of the GPO, I can then start setting settings.
Like Lock the taskbar.
Various lockdowns that I want to perform.
I can do that on this kiosk.
User settings GPO.
And that guarantees that when a user logs into this Win7 client machine that they're going to get.
Because we're in replace mode.
They're going to get the settings that I specified here instead of their normal settings from whatever
you they happen to be in normally.
