I'm trying to implement a GPO on a Site that will enforce
a Proxy Server setting under Internet Explorer Maintence.
It seems that the setting is only applied once, if I
change proxy settings on a client the option isnt "changed
back" after a reboot.

Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Allen,

It sounds like you have "Preference Mode" set. Try right clicking the
Connection under IE Maintenance and if Preference Mode is checked then the
behaviour you described will occur. You will need to check "reset Browser
Settings to reapply the policy and get out of Preference Mode:

"*Note* Configuring the Internet Explorer policy to Preference Mode will
cause the
settings to be applied only once to the clients. Domain policy refreshes
will not
cause this policy to reapply. However, subsequent changes to the Preference
Mode
policy will re-update the clients with the new policy."

I did double check and its not set for Preference mode. I
even cleared settings, set it to Preference mode than
back. I get the same results.
