    I deal with this problem currently. I have multiple ways you can deal with it:

    1) Do not use the GPO and use auto discovery. You can read on how to do this on some MS KB articles (I do not have the IDs handy) but you can do it via a custom DHCP option. It works well
    2) Create a .reg key which removes the proxy settings. If you e-mail me directly, I can provide a sample. Inform laptop users to run this when they go home. When they come back to the office, the GPO will update and push back the proxy. Likewise, you can provide a .reg key for them to use when they get back into the office

    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?
