Guys,
Thanks so far... Well its definately odd becuase if we apply a GPO with Proxy
Settings, the Proxy Settings obviously take place at the client side. When we
remove it the settings stick. The only way I have got the settings back to
normal (i.e. no Proxy Settings applied) is to actually open the Proxy Setting
up, do not configure it at all (yes! just open it up and leave it all blank)
and then save it back to a group policy and apply it to the OU!!!... the client
then takes the new value (which is blank)... its almost as if you are going to
configure it but then change your mind and do nothing. Its weird, as you'd
expect it to be removed but instead you have to go back and create a blank
proxy setting GPO and apply that.
The only way round so far I have managed is to create 2 GPO's... one with Proxy
Settings and One with No Proxy settings (by this I mean creating a new GPO and
opening the Proxy Settings section and not filling it out and saving the GPO as
that) and then filtering this against AD security groups.... then populating
users who should be proxied and users who can use the local gateway out to the
Internet...
Could it be my environment...I wonder

Hi Taz,
My understanding was that the IE settings just built INS files (Install.INS,
SecZones.inf, Authcode.inf, Programs.inf ) and then ran them when the policy is
applied. There is no process to back up your old settings and reapply them when
the GPO is no longer applied.
Only Non tattooed Admin Templates have true reversal of settings. Group Policy
Preferences support “Delete setting when not applied” which is slightly
different to “Replace original setting”
Darren may be better informed. If so, I would be interested to hear the
mechanism used by IE to back out settings.
