Coniguring loopback processing
Normal GPO processing follows the LSDOU rule—Local, Site, Domain, OU. Loopback pro cessing
allows different GPO user settings to apply based on which computer the user logs on to.
You can enable loopback processing of user mode settings by setting the Computer
Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates/System/Group Policy/Configure User Group
Policy Loopback Processing Mode policy. When set to Enabled, you can choose one of two
modes:
Merge mode When set, user settings in the Computer Configuration section of the
GPO are combined with settings in the User Configuration section of the GPO. When
there is a conflict, the Computer Configuration setting takes precedence.
Replace mode When set, user settings in the Computer Configuration section of the
GPO replace any user settings normally applied to the user in the User Configuration
section.
Coniguring and managing slow-link processing and Group
policy caching
When you log on to a domain-joined computer and a network is present, the computer
contacts a domain controller to get the latest GPOs. If the computer is connected by a typical
fast network connection, all the GPO settings are processed by the client. However, if the cli-
ent detects that the link to the domain controller is a slow link, only the most important GPO
settings are processed. By default, a slow link is defined as a connection speed of 500 Kbps
per second or less. You can configure this threshold by setting the Computer Configuration/
Policies/Administrative Templates/System/Group Policy/Configure Group Policy Slow Link
Detection setting.
