figured out that you can do it with a feature called &quot;loopback processing&quot; which allows you to set user policies on OUs of computers. those policies are merged with the gpo of the user but with the computer policy taking precedence in the event of conflicting settings.

using group policy editor on win2k server we wish to have proxy settings applied on a per computer basis. have found an item in the computer policy for changing proxy settings to per machine instead of per user but it isnt at all clear where, if we turned it on, the proxy settings would come from. <br />
<br />
we wondered if it was from the local machine but we dont want to have to go round lots of computers and change the local settings. <br />
<br />
can anyone advise?<br />
<br />
thanks.

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
