  Is there an easy way to open/pull up any local Security policies for network 
machines? I think there might be some type of local policy on the ma chine 
because in running gpresult as this user (I had her run it earlier today) I see 
some reference to "Local Group Policy" from what I understand we are doing 
everything through GP not local. 

  The clinicians are in with clients throughout they day so I am in need of 
figuring out how I can see these from my workstation.....Thanks.

    Not that I have found so far. The only scripts that they had when I got 
here were for login for mapped drives. Nothing in there for IE settings. I did 
find a different place (acutally a few) where they were/are setting the detect 
settings but still haven't found where proxy is being set at.

      Do you maybe have a script or something that is setting it?

      I have a random issue that I can't seem to get to the bottom of, I am 
still cleaning up all the GPs that I inherited with my job....

       

      The problem is randomly I will get a call from a user that they can not 
surf the internet. When either I VNC or actually stop at their desk and look 
around there is 99% of the time proxy information inside of IE. It is also 
usually set to Detect settings. 

       

      I started toying with Group Policy Results for a couple of the users. I 
found the following. That supposedly the GP for setting a domain wide 
screensaver (yeah I know its spelled wrong, just haven't taken the time to fix 
the previous mistake). But in looking at that GP there is no IE settings that 
show up at all. 

       

      I also can't seem to find where the lower part of that window would be 
set. I have printed out all our GPs and none of them list proxy information, 
but somehow they are getting it. I can remove it and the user works fine, but 
then they will call again later (can be days or weeks) and the same thing is 
back. 

       

      Any thoughts? 

       

      TIA.
