Applying Proxy settings to COMPUTERS (not users) using Gro..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.group_policy,microsoft.public.windows.group_policy (More info?)

We have three seperate Proxy servers (by locations) and I want to apply
proxy settings per computer (instead of per user because they may go to
different locations).

I created a global security group (lets say the name is Proxy Group A) and
added some computers to it.

I then created a policy (lets say the name is Proxy Policy A) and added that
group to the security of that policy and made so it applied the policy
settings to it.

I then edited the policy and went to the "User Configuration" of it. From
there I went to Windows Settings > Internet Explorer Maintenance >
Connection > Proxy Settings and changed the proxy settings.

Then I went to one of the PC's that I added to Proxy Group A and logged into
the PC. I ran RSOP.MSC to see if the policies got applied. When I right
click on "Computer Configuration" I see Proxy Policy A got applied in the
COMPUTER section (where the proxy settings AREN'T).

Then I went into the properties of the "User configuration" section. Proxy
Policy A is not showing up.

I'm wondering if the user section isn't getting applied because there aren't
acutal usernames in the security group roxy Group A". If that is the case
then what I am trying to accomplish (adding them by computer and NOT user)
will not work..

Thanks

And then I read up a couple of posts and see that you've already found it,
duh!
