Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.group_policy (
More info?)
Similar problem. I have a Group policy that sets up SUS for every computer
in my Server OU (and yes I want to do that).
That seems to work.
Next, I tried to set up a Policy that would set the Proxy server for IE 5.5
and 6 for all my server and set them so it works for every one on the
machine.
When I apply the policy it Blanks out all the curent settings, but, it
leaves everything blank.
What up with this?
Mike
