Thanks,
I only have one group policy running I placed it on the
entire site. I logged the user on my computer and it
picked up my internet settings. Then I logged on her
computer and she had internet access but now the
connection tab shows up but the lan settings are still
grayed out. I did use the gp under user config,
connection, proxy setting to tell all users of that
machine to use the same proxy settings and I listed my
proxy IP but I don't think that is what fixed it. Now I
just need to find out what will make the LAN settings not
grayed out.
Lessons learned, don't put gp at site level. When first
setup I just used the default users container for my
users.
Would the correct process be to setup a OU for all my
users then apply gp to that OU and remove from site level?
If I remove from site level is it going to cause a
problem maybe leaving some policies where I cannot change
them later? Also, how do I move the gp?
Also, do all my users have to be a member of domain users
or is that just another group that allows secuity rights.
Does the system use domain users as a way to validate
logins or something else?
Thanks for your help
Sherry
