Standard Group Policy Processing
In the above example there are two Group Policy Objects (GPO).
- GPO 1
- GPO 2
Each GPO has two settings, Computer and User.
Group Policy applies Computer Settings to Computer Objects and User Settings to User Objects.
Under normal circumstances when the User [LedHed] logs on to Computer [LedHed-PC1] the following GPO settings are applied:
Computer Settings 1
User Settings 2
Loopback Processing
Loopback Processing changes the default behavior described above.
There are two modes Replace and Merge
Replace Mode
With Loopback Processing enabled in REPLACE mode, when User [LedHed] logs on to Computer [LedHed-PC1] the following GPO settings are applied:
Computer Settings 1
User Settings 1
As you can see User Settings 1 replaced User Settings 2
Merge Mode
With Loopback Processing enabled in MERGE mode, when User [LedHed] logs on to Computer [LedHed-PC1] the following GPO settings are applied:
Computer Settings 1
User Settings 1
User Settings 2
In this mode both User Settings 1 and User Settings 2 are applied, but if there is a conflict between these policies, then User Settings 1 takes priority.
