I have a policy set up which sets proxy settings, exceptions, secure sites and disables users ability to change these
However a user decided to run a reg file which altered the proxy. Now internet connectivity has been lost and the users account wont pick up the policy on reboot/logon or using secedit
Policies work fine on the machine with other users. If I rename his profile and get him to login everything works fine
Why isnt the policy getting set?
 
Brian,

If you have your IE policy configured for "preference mode" the setting will
only apply once to new users, if this is the case the policy will not be
reapplied. If you are not using "preference mode, you could always try to
force to reapply the settings manually.

For Windows XP:

gpupdate /force

For windows 2000:

Secedit /refreshpolicy user_policy /enforce


Good luck !

Hi Nicla

Not using preference mode
Policy works fine before this reg file has been run. Any changes made get implemented either by secedit or by logoff/logon
However once the regfile is run, secedit, logon/logoff or restart doesnt force the policy
Reg file contents are

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.0

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
"ProxyServer"="servername.com:80

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
"ProxyEnable"=dword:00000001
