Thanks all for the ideas.
I hadn't thought about doing a transparent proxy, and am going to look into
that first and if that cant work then we are going with the 'auto-detect'/dhcp
option 252 idea. Both great ideas and I think both would even work for our Mac
users without having to manually setup each one.
For those who where wondering, we are instituting a policy that all company
internet access must go though the proxy and blocking all other access at the
firewall, that is why putting laptop users in a separate OU and not turning on
the proxy server would not work - they couldn't access the internet in a month
or two :-)
Once again thanks!

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?
