Good Afternoon all,

I have a quick question regarding Internet Proxys.

I have a site that has a GPO that forces all users to to run through the
Message Labs proxy server. The policy forces it so it cannot be turned off,
and there are one or two exceptions in that policy.

Now this is all well and good right up until the point that one of the users
(a director) takes his laptop out of the building, and then disappears
abroad with it without telling us. The internet then stops working for him,
as Im guessing that its trying to use a proxy server that it can neither
find, nor authenticate to. Due to the policy being forced he, as an end user
cant turn it off, and we have resorted to manually changing the registry to
get it working again.

The GPO mentioned above is of course a USER based policy, so I cant omit his
laptop from it, and although I could omit HIM from it, I dont really want
to, as it means he has free rein on every PC he logs into.

No doubt Im missing something blindingly obvious here, but whats going to be
the best solution?
