GPO incorrectly identifes Intranet Site

[insureme]

I've got a citrix environment running on windows 2003 server std. I think this is an issue with the GPO, but I haven't been able to identify what is causing it. it could also be citrix that's causing it. what happens is when I log into one of the citrix servers as an administrate the intranet site shows up as local intranet zone and logs me in. if I log into my laptop as a regular user it does the same thing. however is a user logs into citrix (we publish the server desktop) and tries to go to the intranet site it comes up as internet zone and requires the user to log in manually. it won't save passwords either. we have two policies that are hitting each citrix user. the first is the default domain policy, and the second is a citrix lock down policy that applies to the citrix servers and ts-accounts only. the zone mappings are all setup by the user section of the default domain policy. intranet sites are defined as

*.company.com value=1
172.16.1.21 Value=1

http://intranet.company.com

Value=1

as I understand setting the value in the site to zone list to 1 should specify it as an Intranet site. I appreciate any insight anyone here can offer on this.

Was wondering if changing these site to zone mappings to the machine config part of the policy might make a difference? Input?

Thanks in advance.

In the GPO, you could specify intranet.domain.com to bypass the proxy server which would mean it goes direct and may resolve the issue.

It is cheating but my Citrix skills extend to spelling it and not much beyond.

wouldn't work....for some reason IE7 will not list a site as an Intranet site if the site name contains periods. i think this is actually a "flaw" in windows server 2003. however Microsoft says it's by design. Found a KB article stating that. I think I've found an answer though. I deleted the GPO and created a new one with the same settings. it seems to work now. Corrupt GPO maybe. guess we'll see how testing goes this week.
