    Hi,

            If you could; how would you ensure the time on there computer was valid ? You could setup a timeserver and force their computer to use that through GPO (I assume) but that means the time server would need to be available outside your intranet ... Surely it would be easier to allow the proxy server to be contactable from their home (even via a VPN of some sort ... ?) because after all, it's a work computer and surely the same rules apply for what they can browse on it no matter where they are or what time it is.

    Subject: GPO that forces users to use a proxy server.

    We are trying to implement a GPO that forces all users/computers to use a proxy sever for there internet access in the company, but have hit a snag. We have lots of laptop users that we found during testing when they take there laptops home they can access the internet using there own ISP since we set the policy to use a proxy server that is not available to the outside internet, thus they get no internet access.
    Has anybody dealt with this kind of situation before? Is there a way to set a GPO to only be active during business hours?
