Block group policy for a single user on Terminal Server

Today I was asked to block our Outlook Read Receipt group policy from applying to a single user account when logged onto our Terminal Server. Currently there is a group policy that sets Outlook tracking options to “Always send a response” for all users. This user needed the option “Ask me before sending a response”.

I did this by denying the user account access to the group policy

1. Open Group Policy Management from Administrative Tools

2. Go to Group Policy Objects container and right click on the policy and select edit from the menu

3. From the Group Policy Object Editor right click on the policy and select properties from the menu

4. Select the Security tab and add the user account you want to block and then set the permission to deny
