Hi All<br />
<br />
We have a Windows 2008R2 domain, we do not have WPAD configured in our own domain, We are a healthcare organisation and we have a 2 way trust with another domain of a seperate healthcare org, we have conditonal forwarding configured for their internal domain name.<br />
<br />
They have recently configured WPAD on their domain, this has led to people who use our DNS servers that do not have proxy servers configured being directed to our partners proxy server. This does not effect people who are members of our own domain as they have proxy settings configured by GPO, however we have a large number of doctors practices that are just workgroup members who use our DNS settings as the long term goal is to migrate them to our domain, however in the interim the WPAD setting is causing us some pain.<br />
<br />
Is there a way we can stop the WPAD from the trusted domain taking effect, we have the globalqueryblocklist setting enabled and WPAD is in there however this doess not seem to stop it<br />
<br />
Any help would be very much appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks

WPAD configured in trusted domain causing issues in our domain

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
