IE proxy settings are not applied from GPO

[Lubos J.]

HI,

suddenly from last week, my proxy settings distributed via GPO are not
applied to users. Simply, I can check all the things like RSOP, gpresult,
gpotool...etc, everything seems to be ok, it shows that settings was
correctly apllied, but they were not. ("Use of proxy" is not check,
exceptions are missing).
I've tried all "tips" I found on internet, no success. :-(
All other settings are distributed correctly (for example the "Browser
Tittle")
Can someone tell me what the hell is going on?

thanks in advance,
Lubos

Try to enable the "process, even if ... have not changed" policy:
CompConf\AdmTemp\System\Group Policy\ - "Internet Explorer Maintenance
policy processing" - "Process even if the Group Policy objects
have not changed".

HI Florian,

it's done already - it doesn't help me.

Hum... if the policy is shown as applied, I'd try to created another policy
implementing the same setting. Is that actually applied? If not but the new
policy is listed in RSOP and gpresult, I'd check whether there's an third
party app that keeps resetting the settings.

The current policy is new one - the old one was unlinked and then I created
new policy, with new name, which is currently in use, with same settings...
There is no 3rd party applications on our domain controllers, which can
block/reset the config.
I do not understand, what's wrong now, I was using group policy for IE
settings several years. Several security updates was installed on servers and
client's machines a day before - could this be a reason?

...so finally I found it out. Problem was in IE exceptions - on of the links
had more then 2 slashes ( "/").
I found this inside one arcticle from net - when there is a link with mor
then two slashes, proxy settings are not applied correctly or they are not
applied.

rgds,
Lubos
