This seems to confirm a problem in the GPO mechanism regarding IE. I started
a thread a few weeks ago about a similar problem. I was trying to configure
Content Advisor for member of a single group. I had a GPO for that group
only and configured Content Advisor settings for the GPO. All users got it
immediately (and I'm sure my policies were configured properly, permissions
were right - etc. - I've done it a million times and everything else was
working. Here's my original post about it:

Thanks Raff, I tried it and it works. Who needs GPO's? 

Thanks for the help!

I think Jim would suggest logging in as an admin, running change user
/install and setting the proxy to the new setting. 
This usually works for me.

Hi, 

First the setup: 

W2k servers w/AD 

MF XPe FR3 and W2K SP4 

Roaming profiles for all Citrix users 

Now the problem: 

I have a separate OU for my Citrix servers and in the User GP I have
configured IE to use proxy settings. This worked then I changed the proxy
address in the GP. Now all existing users still get the old address and any
new accounts setup get the new settings. I have also changed other settings
in IE in the GP and all users get the new changes. I can't get the proxy
address to change for the old users. 

Any ideas? 

Thank you,
