Wondering if anyone can help....?
I have a LAN consisting of an NT 4.0 Server and Windows 2000 Pro. workstations...
I have Proxy 2.0 loaded on this NT server, that of which I am accessing the internet with...Now with this said my question is ...When I go to setup my internet browser (IE5.5sp2) I have to comply with going through a proxy server. So me being the administrator, have set this up fine...the problem comes about when one of my end users goes to login the settings I have configured for the proxy and IE are not saved. How can I make these settings stick...no matter who logs in ?
Any advice would be appreciated...
thanks in advance

since you have a profile setup that works, you can copy that profile out to be used by other users. Make sure you give them permission to use it. And of course make sure that they are setup to use that profile in the settings for the user account. If you don't want them to be able to change any information and all use the same profile you can change the profile to a .man profile instead of the usual ntuser.dat. The resource kit would work as well but you would probably want to upgrade to 6.0 first to overcome the latest bugs so you don't have to go back through this process again.
