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!

How Do I place a tick in the enable the Use a Proxy Server for your LAN Settings in IE 7.0?

Asked by squireandpartners in Internet Explorer Web Browser, Windows 2003 Server

Tags: , ,

Office Network Environment is currently:-
Server OS: Windows Server 2003 STD SP2
Workstations: Windows XP Pro SP2 - IE 7.0
Proxy Server (software based): Clearswift MIMEsweeper for Web 5.2

We have found that certain users on the network (all with roaming profiles that is) are having problems when they login and use Internet Explorer. We are using Group Policies to to set the Proxy settings on all workstations under the user configuration (User Configuration - Windows Settings - Internet Explorer Maintenance - Connection/Proxy Settings), and this currently works for all newly created profiles, but is failing to enable the tick for existing users in the check box under LAN settings. (Screen Shot Attached)

If I run a regisrty script to change the settings manually, then this changes for the current user logged on for that day, then reverts back to normal the next day.

We have found that all local profiles work without issues but all roaming profiles have this issue.

The only way we have found this to work is if we delete the roaming profile from both the workstation and the sever. Then if the user logs on and checks his/her internet settings the proxy enabled tick is active.  

What I want to find out is how can I steer away from having to recreate 120 user roaming profiles, as this would include a lot of administrative overheads and groans from staff because there desktop icons and folder structure have been reset. Visiting each workstation in turn and deleting the profile and then taking ownership of the server copied profile and deleting that too is very time consuming.  

I believe the settings that control the Proxy Settings are located in the C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Custom Settings\Custom0custom directories under local settings but if you take ownership of the profile on the server and delete those files the user is still unable to use the profile.

This issue is becoming extremely frustrating, as my users now have unlimited access to the websites that are supposed to be blocked by MIMEsweeper during working hours - so at the moment, facebook & YouTube is getting a right hammering, along with the network bandwidth and streaming audio.

Please help, how I can resolve this.
