I have a Windows 2000 Server DC PC, and clients with Windows 2000 Pro and Windows 98.
There are a lot of users created yet. I installed MS Proxy Server recently, and I want to use Proxy Cache.
I am trying to setup IE 6 with Proxy, from all users and in all PCs. I can make this change only to the account/profile that is mine. I want this change to affect all current and new users without having to make this change when they sign on. And if It's possible without go client to client to make the change.
It's that possible? What path I need to follow?
Thanks a lot

I just did this in a 27 workstation lab. I have several OU's in ADS that have different settings for the different users. I just went into the MMC and went to properties on the OU object and then set the proxy address for that OU. Any user & PC that is in that OU will use that proxy address.

I don't have any OU! What need to create one that can assign Proxy properties? What is MMC? (sorry, I'm a newbe)

First for the upgrade use IEAK (Internet Exploere Administration Kit) which gives you the option of how to configure the connection. Then write a logon script that installs IE on the workstations when they logon (on NT/2K machines you will have to make sure they have permissions to do that Unless you use active directory). Also in internet options > Connections > LAN Settins check the box "Use automatic configuration script" and create a script store it on one of your servers. You can use the second aproach together with the first.
