I think your group policy apply user settings. And the GPO is linked to the container where is stored your user account.<br />
If you enable loopback on TS server, you have 2 modes:<br />
- replace, in which case no user settings linked to your user account are applied, but instead it applies user settings stored in the group policy applied to your TSE account.<br />
- merge, in which case user settings linked to your user account are merged with the user settings applied to your TSE account.<br />
<br />
So, if you want to apply your trusted settings on your TSE server, you need to add your setting in the user part of the GPO applied to TSE account.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short.
