 Chiming in to say group policy has made managing a terminal server environment soooooo good. No more dumbass users accidentally shutting down the server, because that option (as well as anything else that could lead to harm) is completely unavailable to all OUs!

 I am trying to figure out a way to apply a group policy to a certain OU so that the policies only affect the users when they log onto a certain terminal server. If I apply the group policy in the normal manner, it prevents them from shutting down their local workstations, when all I need is to prevent them from shutting down this one particular TS. Any thoughts on how I can accomplish this?

Link the GPO to the OU that this TS is in. Then from there, in the section where you can specify what user/group/computer the GPO is applied to, add your TS to there.

Loopback processing will work, sure, but to be honest it's as simple as what I just described.

Awesome...Thanks for the quick replies. I will test this out today.

Edit: TheFlyingDutchman's suggestion worked perfectly. Thanks again!
