"You cannot set the Folder Redirection policy setting on a Windows XP SP2-based computer that also uses Group Policy settings to customize Internet Explorer" Note: Group Policy settings that can customize Internet Explorer include Proxy Settings and Start Page. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Parris Sent: 15 January 2007 17:15 To: ActiveDir.org Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Policy Failing to apply Do you use Folder redirection too? I have come across an issue a couple of times where IE is customised in some way and folder redirection is enabled - this can cause GP not to be applied. There is a hotfix but I cannot look it up at the moment and I am not sure if it was fixed in SP2 or not.

We do get occasional issues where it does not apply, and some times we set it manually while we sort the problem out. Normally if we do this the settings "stick" and don't get wiped when the policy refreshes. However in this case they are wiped when the user logs in. It appears to be some issue with the users settings as the problem "follows" her from PC to PC. ---------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darren Mar-Elia Sent: 15 January 2007 15:24 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Policy Failing to apply Dave- Does that same proxy policy work for any other users correctly? Darren From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Wade Sent: Monday, January 15, 2007 3:49 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Policy Failing to apply Folks, I have a user for whom the Internet Explorer Proxy settings are not applying correctly. They are set in the user portion of the Default Domain Policy. I have checked with "Group Policy Results" tool in the Group Policy Management snap in and it reports that they have been applied. But when the user tries to surf the net they can't, and on checking in IE the proxy fields are blank. To make matters worse if I manually set the proxy, and then do a "gpupdate /force" they are cleared. I have checked the event log on the machine and there is nothing obvious amiss there. Has any one any idea why this is happening before I start turning on userenv debugging? Not this is an isolated incident, and it appears to follow the user rather than being machine specific.
