How proxy works when user login to a Domain?

by srinivas_wgs . Updated 17 years, 1 month ago

We configure Proxy Settings in a group policy so when ever user login to a domain, that policy is “applied”. When we say applied it means, client machine doesn’t contact the AD everytime but the server gives the proxy info the moment users logs in and its active till he logsout. So the proxy settings should be stored some where in the client machine. If so, where it is stored. If not, how does it work. Many people say that server doesn’t push any file to the client machine. I need some clarity on the working process.

Finally, I am running a batch script using which I can know what proxy a user is using. This script checks the registry values but what if user logs into a domain? what if he is using some HTTP Tunneling Software etc?

Many thanks in advance.
