    IM actually kind of a stickler about off site computer use.

    I dont allow roaming laptops to browse the internet unless they can connect to our network first.

    I know this is a bit obnoxious, but as far as im concerned, they shouldnt be using the computer for anything BUT office work, and they cant very well do any office work if they arnt connected to the office.

    A side effect of the above stated technique is that they always use the proxy.

    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.

    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?
