Loopback processing

I have a situation that I don't quite know how to solve.
We have a W2K3 Server with several OU's and GPO's. The
problem that we are having is that a few users that are
part of a specific OU also use laptops. We don't want the
settings in the GPO to apply to them. We would like them
to be able to log in to the network and get their normal
settings (desktop, programs, etc.). Right now, when one
of the laptop guys logs in, he picks up all of the
restrictions of the OU. How do I use loopback processing
to prevent this? I have already taken his laptop, placed
it in a separate OU and enabled loopback processing (with
the replace option), but it hasen't worked properly. Any
help would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks in advance,
