Group Policy setting proxy settings but not enabling proxy

HI All,

I have recently upgraded to Server 2008r2 throughout our network. I have created a GPO which sets all proxy settings, eg. prxy.company.local, homepage, etc. If have applied these settings in

>User Configuration>Windows Settings>IE Maintenance

I also want to restrict users from unselecting the proxy and gaining internet access through othermeans, I have enabled the 'Disable Changing Proxy Settings' option from

>User Configuration>Admin Templates>Windows Components>Internet Explorer>

Everything is working as expected, except 'Use a proxy server for your LAN' is not selected. The address and port is entered but it is greyed out because the 'use proxy server' is not getting ticked.

I am using Windows XP Sp3 w/ IE8 on my clients and 2008r2 on my DC's

Any ideas I am pulling my hair out.. All I want to do is set and lock proxy settings.!

Please Help!?

Did you try it before enabling the Object "Disable Changing Proxy settings"? Try this setting to Not defined.

Hi

Check the below

Under User configuration open Windows Settings > Internet Explorer
Maintenance > Connections > Proxy Settings.

Enable Proxy setting is enabled.

It should resolve the problem

Log Off and Log in the system once take effect

Cheers,
Prem
I have already implemented these settings.

All are being implemented except the 'use proxy' tick box which of course forces users to use the proxy.

Why is it not selecting it?!
Check RSOP in the system and see do you find any error...!
