I'm just doing some work on a desktop deployment for them, and they need to stop users from changing the proxy. The settings via the Charms bar conveniently ignore the GPOs for disabling access to the proxy settings. It may not be the ideal networking setup, but this client have been able to control this access via GPO for the last twelve years or so, so for Windows 8 to arbitrarily ignore this is a bit of a major PITA for them.

Our users don’t have a network path anywhere not explicitly defined. Any app that *doesn't* use the proxy has no way out? -- James Rankin --------------------- RCL - Senior Technical Consultant (ACA, CCA, MCTS) | The Virtualization Practice Analyst - Desktop Virtualization http://appsensebigot.blogspot.co.uk
