IM actually kind of a stickler about off site computer use.
I dont allow roaming laptops to browse the internet unless they can connect to
our network first.
I know this is a bit obnoxious, but as far as im concerned, they shouldnt be
using the computer for anything BUT office work, and they cant very well do any
office work if they arnt connected to the office.
A side effect of the above stated technique is that they always use the proxy.

you could set a gpo at the OU level, or create a new OU with all the laptop
users in it, and block policy inheritance from the global gpo.

Subject: GPO that forces users to use a proxy server.
We are trying to implement a GPO that forces all users/computers to use a proxy
sever for there internet access in the company, but have hit a snag. We have
lots of laptop users that we found during testing when they take there laptops
home they can access the internet using there own ISP since we set the policy
to use a proxy server that is not available to the outside internet, thus they
get no internet access.
Has anybody dealt with this kind of situation before? Is there a way to set a
GPO to only be active during business hours?
