Well one thing that might work is if the proxy settings are set via
login script, and a GPO is used to restrict users from changing it
right?

Yes, it can be scripted or just imported through a .reg file at logon.
Do you really want to enforce the change (ie. not allow users to change)
or do you only care about it getting set correctly?

There is no other built in way. I seem to remember a previous posting on
the list about someone scripting this-maybe they will pipe up again as I
could not find the posting in the list archives
<http://www.gpoguy.com/lists.htm> . But do try enabling the policy I
mention below-that is a documented "fix" for this issue.

If it sucks, then what's a better way of enforcing proxy settings? Any
suggestions would be great.
Thanks,

Well, other than the fact that the IE Maintenance CSE just sucks (!),
you might try enabling the policy at Computer
Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Group Policy\IE
Maintenance Policy Processing\Process even if the Group Policy Objects
have not changed. Sometimes that jump starts this policy.

Subject: [gptalk] IE maintenance policy question...
Greetings:
This is my first time to address this list. The question I have regards
the IE maintenance policies...specifically those related to proxy
settings. I have setup a policy and am applying it to my user OU in my
domain. Oddly, when I run RSOP on a few clients it shows the policy is
applied successfully and there are no issues related to this policy
reported by RSOP, however when I check the browser settings the proxy
settings have not been applied. Further, the system has been logging
this in the applog:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1030
Date: 8/15/2007
Time: 6:09:53 AM
User: DOMAIN\user
Computer: COMPUTERNAME
Description:
Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects. A message
that describes the reason for this was previously logged by the policy
engine.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
Finally, I was told that if there were folders "custom#" in this path
the policy was being applied...particularly if there was an *.ins file
in one of these folders w/ the proxy settings in it. If found the
folders and the file w/ the proxy settings yet it is still not being
applied:
\\%computername%\c$\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application
Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Custom Settings\
Reboots, adjusting the policy priority order, checking scope, deleting
and recreating "custom settings" folder in the profile...nothing has
worked so far. Any clues as to what I might need to check would be
great.
Thanks,
MM
