Backup Group Policy Locked Down terminal Server

[Guest Rick31la]

We have a Windows 2003 terminal server that is locked down with Group Policy.

The server is locked down so any user that logs in gets policy applied.

(Computer Group Policy). The problem is the administrator account also gets

locked down and NTBackup does not run. Is there a way to remove the

administrator from having group policy applied or is there any other method

to create a daily backup of the server without removing from policy first?

Yes, you can use security filtering of the GPO.
