Outstanding info, I'm just going to push out a GPO to allow machines to use the local proxy server, I'm sure it is very simple however, this is my first time- Thanks and any additional info will be appreciated.

That makes sense, pretty easy one to do as well.<br />
<br />
The bit you want is under User Configuration, then Windows Settings, then Internet Explorer Maintenance Connection and either &quot;Proxy Settings&quot; or &quot;Automatic Browser Configuration&quot; depending on what you have in place and would like to use.<br />
<br />
Remember that you must make sure the policy will appear for User Accounts when you think about attaching it to an OU.<br />
