This method does not have those issues, as we are not setting an antomatic
configuration script within the browser itself, we are just telling the
browser to use DHCP and/or DNS to locate the proxy.pac (wpad.dat), which
makes it all automatic and seamless, and removes any such issues like this.

Cheers.

Just to clarify - I wasn't thinking of ntfs permission, but by using the
GPO
to block access to iexplore.exe: I should have said realy.

.pac file would be the best way - just remember the ctx article re: pac
files referenced with the file:// format -

Hi David,

You need to setup a proxy.pac file and leave IE set to "Automatic Detect
Settings". You also lock down the Connections tab so that no one has access
to it. The proxy.pac can control exactly what you want. It's the perfect
control mechanism. When someone tries to access the Internet, it can send
them to a "bogus" proxy server that is actually an IIS web site that will
display a page saying that "This workstation cannot access the Internet",
although you can still access all Intranet sites. I've just implemented
this
for a client and am most of the way through writing a whitepaper on this,
as
there is little information out there on how to do it correctly.
Can you wait a couple more days and I'll send it to you?

Cheers.

Yes, I did it.
But, some applications (our intranet) use Iexplore.exe....so the NTFS
permissions is not the best solution.
I would like to find this registry key and set the 'false' value in it....
I have found this key:
HKusers\....sid.....\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\internet
setting
and the value:
Defaultconnectionsettings: Type Reg_binary

but I don't what is the value to change. If it's possible,of course.
