Proxy Settings through Group Policy not activating
hello,
having issue in proxy settings windows xp not taking effect immediately. have defined in domain ou proxy policy tells computers use 10.3.1.5 proxy server on port 8080. works fine on windows 7 pcs, every windows xp machine have settings put internet explorer correctly, not put check activate it.
*sometimes* work, on next reboot unchecked again. i've tried segregating xp machine , user account in test ou, cleared settings, , applied group policy, same issue. tried creating fresh gp , showed same symptoms. leave computers alone while, or run gpupdate /force , proxy gets enabled immediately. i've tried disabling group policies except 1 well, same issue. rsop.msc , gpresult /z show policy applied correctly. 1 other odd thing, have group policy in lower ou defines homepage pcs , tells clear history , cache after exiting internet explorer. put our proxy gp place, homepage gp no longer shows in rsop , sure enough no longer pushing out settings. i've tried running in loopback mode, tried no override still not work. running windows server 2003 r2, dcs in 1 site, replication not appear problem.
i did try running gpresult , rsop.msc on client pc, showing policies applied correctly. oddest thing after booted , proxy unchecked, if ran gpupdate /force worked every time. reboot? have settings enable proxy not checked.
did set admin templates->system->group policy->loopback policy merge , replace , tried letting settings propagate, no change. tried putting failing user account , computer account in test ou , applied settings in different combinations way, same issue-settings appear correctly, if cleared them out before reboot, proxy not being set until running gpupdate /force. , on windows xp machines, windows 7 works fine. it's weird.
any appreciated! thanks!
enable "internet explorer maintenance policy processing" =>
"process if group policy objects have not changed"
xp computers.
