Loopback processing issue on 2008 R2 RDS

sorry cross post, couldn't find forum last night odd reason :(

a client has ou contains 2 rds servers, there 7 gpo applied here, none of contain loopback processing.

users in default users container :(  needless things not working they'd like.

for test created new ou user accounts , create new user there (with admin rights test).   create simple gpo user setting , link ou.  then log rds server.  gpresult /r shows simple gpo under user setting applied group policy object expected.

what i'm lost on computer configuration settings.  the applied group policy objects follows:

favorites redirect (only user config)

term serv timeout (only user config)

ffscript (only computer config)

browser proxy (only user config)

ie connections lock (only computer config)

adagentdeploy (only computer config)

default domain policy (only computer config)

then 2 gpo not applied because filtered:

local (empty)

shared folder (empty) has user configuration\preferences item map 2 drives.

in fact don't 2 mapped drives, shared folder gpo above filtered, , expect that.  

but why there 3 other gpo above have user configurations "applied?"  i use quotes because says applied, aren't working.

and 1 additional question: how troubleshoot group policy , in particular loopback processing on user accounts don't have admin rights?  in other words domain user running gpresult /r not computer configuration output, access denied.

first - have loopback set merge or replace mode?

second - when gpresult loopback enabled, user side settings (that scoped computer) appear in gpresult user. no admin rights needed.

take @ these 2 guides , let me know answer above question.
