Applying Proxy settings to COMPUTERS (not users) using Group Policies

We have three seperate Proxy servers (by locations) and I want to apply
proxy settings per computer (instead of per user because they may go to
different locations).

I created a global security group (lets say the name is Proxy Group A) and
added some computers to it.

I then created a policy (lets say the name is Proxy Policy A) and added that
group to the security of that policy and made so it applied the policy
settings to it.

I then edited the policy and went to the "User Configuration" of it. From
there I went to Windows Settings > Internet Explorer Maintenance >
Connection > Proxy Settings and changed the proxy settings.

Then I went to one of the PC's that I added to Proxy Group A and logged into
the PC. I ran RSOP.MSC to see if the policies got applied. When I right
click on "Computer Configuration" I see Proxy Policy A got applied in the
COMPUTER section (where the proxy settings AREN'T).

Then I went into the properties of the "User configuration" section. Proxy
Policy A is not showing up.

I'm wondering if the user section isn't getting applied because there aren't
acutal usernames in the security group :Proxy Group A". If that is the case
then what I am trying to accomplish (adding them by computer and NOT user)
will not work..

Thanks
 
This policy might be what you're after:

Computer Config > Admin Templates > Internet Explorer > Make Proxy settings
per-machine
