    Every time I visit Bink.nu there is an ad for Mobile Switch Network. Is that
    something that could help?

    Failing that, a GPO is but a bunch of registry changes. You could quite
    easily provide a script to punch entries into the appropriate fields (ask
    them the proxy name, port, etc). These would then get over-written by the
    policy when they connect their laptops back to the company network.

    Another way is to give them another separate browser :)

    Cheers

    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?
