Found it. you can tell I don't use local policies much/ever. gpedit.msc /gpcomputer:"computername" Sorry for the list chatter. ----- Original Message ----- From: Timothy J.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: Timothy J.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: Nelson, Jamie To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, October 13, 2008 3:22 PM Subject: [gptalk] Re: IE Browser Settings - something is wrong?!?! Do you maybe have a script or something that is setting it?

Parker Sent: Monday, October 13, 2008 2:12 PM To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] IE Browser Settings - something is wrong?!?! 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.
