[gptalk] Re: Proxy settings reverting to old proxy server

I found the problem.  Sysvol was not replicating to one of my DC's so it
had some old policy's that were not updated.  I manually copied the
policies over which has solved the immediate problem but I still cannot
make sysvol replicate.

Sounds like something is going on during background refresh to revert
your settings. I am assuming you are using IE Maintenance policy to
deliver proxy settings? You're not using IE Maintenance Preference mode,
are you? In any case, you might want to try the following. For all the
computers where this is happening, set the following policy to process
IE Maintenance policy even if there are no GP changes:

 

Computer Configuration\Admin Templates\System\Group Policy\IE
Maintenance Policy Processing\Process even if Group Policy Objects have
not changed

 

Let us know if that works.

Loopback is defiantly not applied to the affected computers.  If I look
gp results from from the gpmc the right proxy is getting applied.  And
it is right after a user reboots and logs in it only changes after about
half an hour to an hour.

Wally-

The reason I suggested loopback may be involved is because one of the
side-effects of loopback merge mode is that user policies can be
processed twice. Loopback is a per computer policy that would be enabled
under Computer Configuration\Admin. Templates\System\Group Policy\User
Group Policy loopback processing mode. I would check to ensure this
policy is not enabled somehow on your client systems. 

 

Assuming its not that, the duplicate entries you see below could just be
an artifact of gpresult. I would run the GPMC GP Results Wizard and see
what it shows. I find it easier to see conflicts using that tool than I
do with gpresult.exe.

Loopback processing?  I am not familiar with this.  Does anyone know why
in the example I gave below the proxy settings are applied twice?  Is
there a cached policy on the local pc or something?

Is there any chance that your computers have been set to use Loopback
processing?

I have been using Group Policy to apply IE proxy settings on a 2003
Active directory domain.  I had not changed anything in quite awhile but
I decided to force everyone to have a locking screensaver which I did
with group policy.  When I did this all of a sudden my users proxy
settings changed to the ip of an old proxy server that does not exist.
IF I get a user to reboot the proxy settings go back to normal so it
looks like Group policy is working properly.  But after an undetermined
amount of time the proxy settings go back to the old setting which is
wrong.  I have looked at the local GPO but it does not have the setting
in it. I can not find where the old Proxy setting is coming from.

 

Here is a copy from part of gpresult /v  it looks like the proxy server
is getting applied twice. the 143.61.151.99 address is the bad proxy but
I can't find that address in the gpo's that are getting applied.
