Local group policy addresses only users who are physically logging into one particular machine such as the server itself or a stand alone operating system. To log into a machine locally, a user must create a unique ID/Password pair that authenticates the local user to the local physical system. Once authenticated to the local physical machine, group policy according to which local group the user is assigned is initiated.
