Auto-matic Proxy settings

Hi all

When a new computer joins the domain it is picking up a proxy setting
automatically. I have checked in group policy and there is nothing set
there.

I have also checked the login script - nothing there either.
I have run gpresult and only the default domain policy is being applied.

Any ideas what else caould be causing this?
Thanks

They can also come from DHCP or DNS. It don't know the steps to reproduce it
myself,...at least not by memory. But those two are actually the most
popular way to do it since the GP way has only been around sicne 2000 Server
came out, while DHCP and DNS were used even back in the NT era.

Another way is for the proxy settings to be designed into a customized
installation of IE which can be done with IEAK.

Check the following KB article to see if DHCP or DNS are configured for Web Proxy Auto Detect.
