Why XenApp has two way to configure settings ?
• Group Policy and IMA Policy contain the same settings • Settings coming from either will merge in a single RSoP
![Page 8: CEC XenApp 6 Policies Stephane Thirion Activlan](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020207/557818f2d8b42ab40c8b4bdc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Conflicts ? What will happen ?
Conflicts will occur if the same setting is coming from either Group Policy (GP), IMA or Local Group Policy (LGP)

Should I use Group Policies or configure settings in the CDSC ?

Keep that in mind • The Unfiltered policies affect all servers and all users • Group Policy is a must if you need cross farm policies • Group Policy (Domain) takes over IMA Policy and Local Policy • Group Policy require a clean OU/Server organization • IMA Policy doesn’t require Active Directory • IMA Policy doesn’t require specific rights in Active Directory • IMA Policy is the best fallback option if no access to Active Directory • You can prioritizing Policies and creating exceptions • RSoP doesn’t display settings that policies have not configured
