Environment
Novell ZENworks Configuration Management
Situation
Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) does not always honor Proxy Settings configured in Local Group Policies
Cause

Additional Information
As a work around for IE not honoring the Microsoft Local Windows GPO Settings for Proxies, test the following IE 11 Proxy ADM File -
(Important - Internet Explorer is not a Micro Focus Product and this ADM is courtesy. Micro Focus cannot ensure IE will always honor these settings.)
(Reminder - In GPEDIT.MSC, Right-Click on "Administrative Templates" to load the ADM file below for inclusion in your GPO.)
