    you could set a gpo at the OU level, or create a new OU with all the laptop users in it, and block policy inheritance from the global gpo.

    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?
