The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Group Policy Proxy Settings don't stick in active GPO

Asked by michaelsjacob in SBS Small Business Server, Windows Network Security, Internet Explorer Web Browser

I have a strange one.  Here goes...

Have a SBS 2k3 server running in an office for about 3 yrs.   Configured via GPO to pass all internet traffic thru a proxy on a linux box.  Everything was working fine for over a year.  Then the linux box went down, so i shut off the GPO so everyone could get internet while i repaired it.  Fixed the box, but it back up, started the policy again, but no Proxy. I forced refresh  gpupdate /force  and things change on the client (hide internet options tabs, etc).  So i know the GP is passing thru to the client, and is being updated because changes take.  However, the Connections tab gets NO data from the GP so the proxy settings don't pass along.  Any ideas?  I tried creating a new policy with a different name, and still it doesn't take.  The new policy also works, because i've tested other features in it, and they stick, but the proxy stuff doesn't.  Any ideas? here is the GP report...
