Group Policy
Hi
Is it possible to apply or change proxy settings to computer configuration in AD/GPO instead of user config:
(Group Policy -> User Configuration -> Windows Settings ->
Internet Explorer Maintenance -> Connection -> Proxy Settings).

No, it's not. But why would you want that?
If that is the case, you can scope your GPO by using an WMI filter:
SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE Name = 'MyComputer'
So that the policy will only apply to the computer named MyComputer. You can use OR to include additional computer names:
SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE Name = 'MyComputer' or Name='MyComputer2'
and so on.
SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE Name = 'MyComputer'

Have you tried with GPO Loopback processing?

Hi HI-LTD. This can be easily done by making the changes you need via script; and then push the script via Computer Config on the GPO. The IE Proxy settings are located at:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Softwar e\Microsof t\Windows\ CurrentVer sion\Inter net Settings]
"ProxyServer"="<your proxy IP address>:8080"
"ProxyEnable"=dword:000000 01
"ProxyOverride"="<local>"
Then use REGEDIT in the login script to push the settings to the workstations:
#Regedit /s z:\public\setpxy.reg
Of course this depends on what language your using for your logon scripts.
Good luck!

went the route of movign the policies around and not use loopback
