How to enable proxy settings through group policy?

[bobyBrown]

I'm trying to setup a proxy for the Internet Connection under group policy from the Active Directory. The fake proxy server does work; however, the problem is the Exception list are not working. Despite putting a list of sites in the Exception box and also checked the "Do not use proxy server for the local address" option. Every time when the user runs IE browser, it always goes through the proxy server. The Exception list was never applied or checked. I did reboot the machine several times and force the GPO to update and still the same problem.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

If I am reading this correct I am having a similar problem. I am assuming that the Group policy is pushing out your settings but you are still not able to bypass the proxy for local addresses.

I found that when accessing a website browser uses the DNS of the proxy. I am new to proxys so I was not aware of this. We had some issues with trying to get to internal sites since the proxy was returning us an external address which with the firewall configuration would not work. We are still working on a solution for this but for the time being we are just not using the FQDN for websites that are both internal and external to our users.
