We are a citrix environment - we have been using a generic proxy via GPO to control the available websites with w2k3 \ IE6 this was working great. We have deployed a few server with W2k3 and IE7 and the GPO while pushing some of the other policies will not push the proxy piece - any ideas?

Thanks guys - I have disable the proxy settings per userr option and did not work :( I also tried setting it to auto detect. Neither seemed to change anything

Make proxy settings per-machine (rather than per-user)
If you enable this policy setting, users will not be allowed to alter user-specific proxy settings. They must use the zones that are created for all users of the computers they access.

The Make proxy settings per-machine (rather than per-user) setting is configured to Enabled for desktop client computers for the two environments that are discussed in this chapter. However, the policy setting is configured to Disabled for laptop client computers because mobile users may have to change their proxy settings as they travel.

Open Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Internet

Click the Connections tab.
Click the first entry in the Dialup and Virtual Private Networks list, and
then click Settings.
Select the Automatically detect settings check box, and then click OK.
Repeat the previous two steps for each entry in the Dialup and Virtual
Private Networks list.
Click the Lan Settings button in the Connections tab, and repeat steps 4-6.
Click OK on the Connections tab.
Close Internet Explorer, and then restart it

I have tried these and nothing is helping - I found some different threads that suggested maybe the override was mis-entered - that also did not help.
