Internet Explorer Proxy Configuration

We have added a new domain into our infrastructure which will host our portal site. Is there any way to centrally add this to the bypass proxy sites list and to the Local intranet zone list. I know its possible thru group policy but as i understand i will kick off any settings which the users have already configured already. What I am expecting the experts here to suggest is a way in which i can append the domain both of these lists centrally. There are about 5000 clients and doing it manually would not be an option. Group policy, web based scripts, login scripts etc..please advice.

Group policy is the only way that I would consider doing this. It is what it is designed for.
Careful setting of the group policy settings should allow you to deploy the change without causing any problems with other settings. Although with a 5000 user site you would probably have a tight control over them anyway - otherwise the network would become a pain to manage.

The problem with login scripts is you would have to replace the key, that may remove more information than you are prepared to accept.

Wont the Group Policy also overwrite what ever is there in the client as of now. The Systems are not tightly controlled as of now. They belong to different business units and they have specific URL's added to their bypass proxy list and local intranet zone. Are there ways to script it so that it captures what is in there and regenerates the a new key by appending the new values and putting it back. These settings are in the registry of HKCU. Would any scirpting gurus here help!!
