Proxy settings not applying to all - GPO

[dave.81]

We are having an issue where some but not all staff are not getting their proxy settings via GPO. The rest of the GPO is being deployed fine but just the proxy settings are not being picked up.

 

Anyone else come across this?

Do you have any other group policies higher up the structure with a No Override set? Such as somewhere in the default domain policy?

Default domain policy has the user settings disabled so i wouldn't have thought there is anything in there, i'll double check.

Hi,

 

Make proxy setting per-machine (rather than per-user) and if it does not work then check out the KB's:

 

Internet Explorer Maintenance Group Policies do not apply during subsequent logons procedures

Microsoft Support/kb/306915

 

After you enable the Folder Redirection policy in Windows XP Service Pack 2, the Internet Explorer Maintenance policy may not apply

Microsoft Support/kb/888254

 

If the issue persists, please make sure that you have installed the latest service pack on the affected computer.

Hope it helps you.

Do update us again.

I appear to have resolved the issue, i had a seperate computer policy that i was forgetting to check which had "restrict changing of proxy" set. I've removed that and all users now appear to be working. Still odd how it was only effecting some users but fixed now.

 

Thanks for the pointers!
