I have made some scripts to use in Group Policy to add the proxy settings on logon and remove them on logoff.. for some reason the script that is used to logoff doesn't run. The one that runs on logon runs fine but i can't seem to get the one that logs off to run. I have written three different scripts to remove proxy settings from IE and they all work, because i have tested them locally, but no go on logoff. oh and just to let you know when my test machine logs off it does say that its running the logoff scripts.

What is wrong with using the proxy configuration settings already in GPO's?

For instance, i take my laptop home i don't want to have proxy settings already in IE. Its a pain to have to go into IE settings and take out the proxy settings every time.
This is mostly for our end users who take there laptops home. Plus if a mobile user comes into work then goes back onto the road they would have that same problem.
The problem is that the proxy settings get cached for some reason and i would like it not to be. If there is a way to uncach this that would be great too, but i have been at a loss to find out how. The same is for proxy configuration settings.. works great to apply the proxy settings, but when the user logs off or shuts down for the night and takes the laptop home the settings are still applied. And telling the boss that he just needs to remove the proxy settings every night doesn't really work.

Might want to investigate WPAD. That's why it was created...

Has anyone been successful here, I am looking for a similar solution for out notebook users. A shutdown script that will remove/uncheck the IE proxy settings at user shutdown

Desktop Authority (scriptlogic.com) can be a good answer for this issue.
We have a ton of roaming users who travel with notebooks. With desktop authority we push proxy settings at logon and then remove them at logoff.
For other group of users who travel across our different departments (the same building but different flours and subnets) with help of desktop authority's validation logic we apply proxy settings according to subnet.
