Scenario;
Laptop users in corporate network require Internet Explorer configuration to point to a proxy server for internet access. The same users go home where they all have wireless networks to connect remotely via vpn - but the Internet Explorer settings require no proxy, and to Automatically Detect Settings, which will give them internet access and ability to use vpn. I want to implement a solution whereby
A) they log on our corporate network, a gp is applied for the proxy settings in IE so that they have access.
B) they go home, connect to their wireless network, and a local group policy for the laptop sets IE settings to Automatically Detect Settings which will then give them internet access for vpn.
The laptops are predominantly winxp pro sp2, the domain is currently win2000.
I have a local group policy on the laptops which sets User Config\Windows Settings\Internet Explorer Maintenace\Connection\Auto
matic Browser Configuration to Automatically Detect Settings
I have a domain Group Policy which sets User Config\Windows Settings\Internet Explorer Maintenace\Connection\Prox
y Settings to the correct settings for internet access on our domain when connected to corporate network.
Problem is, when disconnect the laptop from corporate network, shutdown, restart and log on again to the laptop, it is the domain Group Policy settings that are showing in Internet Explorer settings for our corporate network, and not the settings as per the local group policy - hence theres no internet access at their home location. Is there a way to ensure that local group policies are implemented when not connected to the domain, or that domain group policy settings are removed at log off
If anyone has a totally different and succinct solution to configure IE connection settings for conection at office, and seperate configuration for home profile to allow internet access, would be very interested to hear. Thanks in advance for any info
