Just in case anybody else cares, fixed this issue by creating my own ADM
file and imported it into the Policies in AD.  Now I can put in lots of
characters.  As long as I don't configure it under the Internet Explorer
Maintenance policy then they won't conflict.

I do use ISA but unfortunately the ISA servers have to be at a different
location then my Metaframe servers and I don't think they will detect the
ISA server at another location.  This used to be a problem with NT4 but they
considered it a problem and fixed it in one of their service packs.

 

Thanks,

The 255 max characters is because the GPO is used to set the proxy settings
in IE on the local machines. That local machine setting is held in a reg
key, hence the 255 character limit. To have greater control you need
something like ISA as a proxy server and do your bypasses there.

Hi All,

 

It looks like there is a maximum length of 255 characters for Proxy
Exceptions if you enter these into the Policy on Windows 2003.  Does anybody
know how to change this in 2003?  If it was an ADM file I know you can use a
MAXLEN statement but this doesn't fall under the administrative templates.
I don't know what would happen if I set this in an administrative template
if it would conflict with the one built into Windows 2003.

 

Thanks,

 

Chris
