group policy not applying to an OU that contains only computers

[Guest]

Hi All,
I'm having some difficulties with my AD GPO at the moment, we're using a
Citrix Farms and have and OU dedicated for those citrix servers. that way the
GPO only apply when users are connecting to those servers but not when using
their own laptop/pc. The OU used for the users is at another level in the AD
schema.
However even if in the properties of the GPO I chose authenticated user and
that it's applying to them, the users, when connecting to the servers don't
have the GPO applied to them.
If I put the users in the same OU then the server then it's applying to them
when they're connecting to the servers.
I tried to recreate the OU for the server but didn't change anything.
DO anybody have an idea why the GPO is not applying when the OU nly contains
cokmputers/servers and not users?
It's maybe a really simple setting that i forgot.
Any help would be more than welcome.
Thanks
Raphael

HI again all,
Basically I finally figured out what was the problem:
Logically the users GPO settings only applies to user and the GPO computer
settings only applies to computer. However if you want that the user settings
applied to all people connecting to the servers, then you have to enable a
setting under the computer settings: \admin templates\ system \ group policy
you have to enable the loopback settings.
And now your user settings are applied to all the users connecting to those
servers.
Sorry for bothering you if any of you guys were searching for a solution.
Have a nice day all of you.
