The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Proxy Settings will not update changes via Group Policy

Asked by Hayzeus in Operating Systems Miscellaneous, Internet Explorer Web Browser, Active Directory

Tags: , , ,

On our domain, we use AD Group Policy to push out proxy settings to the computers/users.  We also have enabled "Make Proxy Settings per machine."
"Disable changing proxy settings" is NOT configured at all.

Now, I'm trying to push out a change to the proxy settings.  We have added an exclusion to the sites that bypass the proxy.

Logging in as a regular user that already has a local profile created (ie... they've logged in to that workstation before) fails to update the proxy settings with the new exclusion, and they cannot access the site.  If I use Group Policy Management to run the GP Results for that user on that machine, the report says that they have the new exclusion, but the local workstation doesn't appear to update properly.

However, if I log in to that workstation as an administrator, the new proxy settings are downloaded and applied to ALL users, including the old regular user who coudn't receive the update before the admin login.  We have 90 workstations spread out over 200 miles, and I'm not keen on logging in to every workstation as an administrator to force the update.

Why won't the ammended proxy settings replicate to the workstations when a regular user logs in even though GP Management says that they should have the new setting?  Is there a way to force this change without logging in to every workstation administratively?Start Free Trial
