Group Policy droipping Off.

[Guest]

I am currently applying a group policy to our users that sets the
Automatically Detect settings checkbox for internet explorer. It seems like
after a short while the setting drops off and the users are no more going
through the proxy server.

When i was previously setting the proxy server configurations through group
policy (now using WPAD) it was doing the same thing. I am sure users are not
changing the setting themselves, it is happening to all users. They are
definitely taking proxy settings are being routed through it and then the
setting just seems to stop working. I have to create a new policy and drop it
on the OU again

What gives???

Do you actually have a second rout to the internet besides going through the
proxy?

What makes you think that they are no longer using the proxy server?

yes they have a second route. Our proxy is not running as a gateway with 2
Nics, so if their proxy settings drop off they go through the normal gateway.
I know that they are dropping off because they stop appearing in our
GFIwebmon and ISAlogs.

What DNS server do they use for preferred DNS server? What do they use for
alternate?

Background is;
W2K3 network, both DNSPri and Sec on our network. WPAD setup in DHCP scope
and DNS entry. THese configurartions are correct and working. Users are and
do resolve to the ISA server set up as a single NIC proxy server. So they are
only going to proxy if the GPO is working. It does work for a while then for
some reason users just seem to drop the proxy applied GPO setting and then
start to resolve through the gateway specified in DHCP scope.

I could set the gateway as the ISA server , my main concern is that users
will have no issues that are mobile with laptops, but that should be fine.
This doesn't change that fact that GPO settings ARE dropping....strange.
