Group Policy problem/question
In the default group policy throughout our domain, we changed the homepage to automatically go to our internal portal. However, we have a user that uses a laptop and that connects to our domain. When she goes off line, internet explorer tried to go to that portal page, but since she is not connected at the time, she get's an error. My question; is there way for her laptop to know that she isn't connected to the domain and look for that policy? However when she does connect to our domain, I want her to follow our group policy structure.
I did try to change the local policy on her laptop, but that didn't seem to work..
Thanks,

What is the best way to say this? I don' t believe so.
Group policies are saved on the local drive. They are in a alpha numeric folder that is saved on the root of C.
If it is a user policy, it will apply when the user logs onto the domain, and not logs on locally.
If It is a computer policy, it will always revert to the GPO.
So, depending upon the policy also depends upon what you get.
However, even if this policy is in place, it is just a minor inconvenience. All she has to do is go to a different page. Internet explorer 7 offers tabbed browsing. I believe, the second tab can be set to whatever she wants as a default page.
