All, Here is the scenario.
I have a W2K3 domain in native mode. I want my group policy to apply users that DO NOT log into the domain. These are WINDOWS XP Professional computers that are setup to auto-login LOCALLY to the COMPUTER (NOT THE DOMAIN). The computers themselves are members of the domain. I have a computer startup script group policy that works fine with these computers. This script installs printers based on the computers location. So I know that the machines are accepting policy.
We have setup an OU created and linked a policy with all of the appropriate settings that we want, however these settings only get applied when a DOMAIN USER ACCOUNT is used to login to these computers in that OU where the policy is applied. This is ideal for most of our environment but these computers are like kiosk machines where domain authentication for users is not required. I would like to avoid creating a local policy for these machines. We tried a loopback policy but still get the same results. Is there any way to accomplish this?
