GPO not removing proxy settings

Hi all,

So I am pulling my hair out here, had LGFL 2.0 in for a week.

On LGFL 1.0 we had to use a proxy server, which we deployed the setting via group policy.

Now it would seem that you can unset the the proxy settings via group policy, and also that Windows just keeps picking it backup from somewhere in the registry.

I have cleared all the setting in the GPO and reset it, I have added a *.bat to the logon.

With the following in it.

reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\In ternet Settings" /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

And still the proxy settings come back.

Any ideas please ?

Have you reversed the setting in the GPO or just changed it to not set - just changing a setting can still be applied if just changed to not set rather than the opposite of what is was.

Alternatively use RSOP to identify where its getting it from.

Tried gpresult and the gp modeling wizard,

Code:

And still it sets the proxy.

Maybe it's coming frommthe user profiles, if so how to clear the settings in the user profiles ?

Have you checked the gpo and to see if they have put a logon script to deply the settings into the registry.

Try a rsop.msc on the client to see if it will help.

Also try a modelling or results in group policy and see if this can show you where they ahve added the setting.
