Hi All,

Having a major main with a group policy setting for IE. The user has ticked,
under connections, lan settings, Automatically Detect settings. We have this
turned off under preference mode in group policy, yet it still seems to be
applied.

How can I force this off?

Thanks

Probably the GPO is setting the value and the user then changing it.
The GPO setting is applied Once Only so unless you change the GPO it is not
re-applied.

Change the GPO to apply the settings even if not changed
Computer Settings/Admin Templates/system/group policy/Registry Policy Processing

Also look to restrict the ability of the users to access the IE tools

Thanks for this.

I will give this a try. I can confirm that the user is not changing this
setting however.

Copy the user account to a test account and login to the test user. See if it is
happening to the test account.
