Problem applying a custom Group Policy
I am having issues with a particular group policy on Server 2008 R2. I
am logging on to a 2008 Terminal server. The terminal server is in it's own OU, with a loopback GPO and 2 custom GPOs in it. At the user OU level I have a custom user config GPO.
If I have my loopback GPO enabled, my custom user config GPO doesn't apply. With the loopback GPO present, if I go to do a gpresult, the custom GPO is not mentioned at all. It's not in the applied GPO section or the filtered ones.
With the loopback GPO disabled, I just get the custom user GPO (at the user level), and not the other 2 GPOs I have at the Terminal Server Ou level.

The lookback will replace entirely your user GP if it's on Replace mode, that's why it wouldnt be visible at a gpresult query, I think you want to use the Merge mode

Is this a new twist to 2008 as we have a template for TS setups that we have followed in 2000 and 2003 and we used the Replace option for Loopback Processing with them? That is what I usually find as recommended for TS setups in pretty well everything I read. For instance in this link I just came across they use the 'Replace' function. https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/24579654/group-policy-loopback-with-2008-server.html
Is it a matter that it can work with the Replace but we have to change something else?

Thanks for the help. We'll work with the merge function if that's what it takes.

It was set to replace. I changed to merge, and it works now.
