Doing it that way will apply the policy to the users whether they were
logging into the TS server or their own workstations, which I don't think
is the intention.
You want to place the TS servers in their own OU and apply a loopback
policy to this OU. That way, no matter who logs into the machine and what
their user settings are, they will pick up the user settings applied to the
TS server. You would normally want to exclude the domain admins from
picking up this policy though, so deny the Apply Group Policy permission to
the Domain Admins group.
