IE 11 GPO Proxy Server

[psheil99]

Hi,

 

Have got a problem where client laptops and PC's that have IE 11 will not pick up and apply the proxy server that is specified by group policy to the whole domain.

Has worked perfectly until now and all of a sudden stopped working, anyone else got the same problem or know a fix?

 

Thanks

I assume you are using GPP to push out the settings? If so, is it Internet Explorer settings for version 10?

 

If so, go to

\\%FQDN%\SYSVOL\%FQDN%\Policies\{%GUID%}\User\Preferences\InternetSettings

 

(Where %FQDN% is your active directory domain name (i.e. horcrux.internal) and %GUID% is the Unique ID for the Group Policy.)

 

Find the cosponsoring XML file for the Internet Explorer settings, open with notepad and search for max="

 

If the value is less than 11.0.0.0, then change the value to 99.0.0.0

 

Note: 99.0.0.0 is the max value set by later installations of the Group Policy templates, earlier versions had a lower number.

 

Save the file and then force policy changes on the problematic workstation to test.

Not sure if this is your answer to your problem came by the info on Microsoft site.

 

In Internet Explorer 11, the WinINET team has disabled WinINET's support for

file:// based scripts to promote interoperability across network stacks.

Corporations are advised to instead host their proxy configuration scripts on

a HTTP or HTTPS server. As a temporary workaround, this block can be removed by

setting the following registry key:

 

Key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\

Value: EnableLegacyAutoProxyFeatures

Type: REG_DWORD

Data: 1

 

Hope it helps.

Cheers
