So I'm not clear. Are you saying that the GPO is not persisting the settings or that clients aren't receiving them? What does the brndlog.txt file (found in a user's profile under AppData\Microsoft\Internet Explorer)say?

If you have any ideas, I'd really appreciated it. Thanks!! PS. We do not have any VISTA machines in the district as of yet. _____ From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Darren Mar-Elia Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2007 4:39 PM To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Re: IE7 GPO Freddy- I have heard some rumblings that there are issues with IE Maintenance and IE 7 if you are setting IE Maintenance policy from "downlevel" OS'. Are you setting this from a XP machine or a Vista machine? If XP, you might try setting it from a Vista machine if you have one (in a test scenario of course) and see if it functions any better.

I created a GPO for certain users to block the usage of the Internet and for those machines that have IE 6 it works fine, but for those computers that have upgraded to IE 7 it doesn't. I had gone into the User Configuration; Windows Settings; Internet Explorer Maintenance; Connection; Proxy Settings and placed a bogus proxy, but for some reason in IE 7 it bypasses those settings and goes through. How can I resolve this issue? Any assistance in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!! Freddy Ramos Edinburg CISD ILS Computer Specialist (956) 289-2325 x3015 f.ramos@xxxxxxxxx
