The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Loopback processing mode 2003

Asked by Sid_F in Windows 2003 Server, Windows XP Operating System

Tags: windows 2003 policy loopback processing

I have looked into loopback policy mode and found the below posting, am I correct in saying enabling loopback policy mode is really nothing more than telling a user policy that if it encounters a computer policy in place on any machine that the computers settings should replace the user settings if "replace mode" mode is seltected and merge the settings when "merge mode" is selected allowing the machine to win over user settings if a conflict occurs. All corrections are welcome !!

An example of loopback processing will be
you are in a school environment and you have a Math classroom with 20 computers in its own ou,
but you do not want any users who login to these machines to be able to run the calculator program.

That policy is found under the USER section here  User Config > Administrative templates > system > 'don't run specified applications'

If we were to set this policy just as a normal user policy and apply it to an OU with the students in it then no matter what computer the students log into they will receive this policy and cannot run the calculator program.

Instead you set the user policy section as described above and then in the computer section you set the loopback policy and apply the
GPO to the OU that the computers are in.
Then the users who login to this classroom will receive this User Policy setting and
when a user logs into another computer in a different OU they can still run the calc program

you apply the GPO to an ou with computers in it
and it tells all users who login to these computers to apply the user settings that are defined in the same policy

you use loopback processing mode when you want to apply a user setting
to all users who login only to a specific set of computers

sorry...that took longer to say than expected, hope it didn't add to the confusion
