The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Zero Administration Kit for Windows NT Workstation 4.0
SYMPTOMS
When you try to connect to the Internet using a proxy server on a Zero
Administration Kit (ZAK) client, you may receive the following error message:
Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site http://<Internet site>.
The site was not found. Make sure the address is correct, and try
again.
CAUSE
The proxy settings for your ZAK client may not be configured correctly.
RESOLUTION
Configure the proxy settings in the policy file for your ZAK client. The
policy file resides on the ZAK server. To modify the policy file, use the
following steps:
- Log on to the ZAK server (this is the primary domain controller for the
network) as the domain administrator.
- Start Policy Editor (Poledit.exe), and then open the Ntconfig.pol file
in the following folder:
%SystemRoot%\System32\Repl\Import\Scripts
- Double-click the icon for the user group to which the ZAK client user
belongs. By default, this icon is labeled either AppUsers or TaskUsers.
- Double-click Windows, and then click the Internet Settings check box to
select it.
NOTE: There is a policy listed above this policy that is titled "Set
the values for your proxy server." Proxy server settings configured in
this policy have no effect on the ZAK client. You must configure proxy
server settings for the ZAK client in the Windows policy, as indicated
above.
- Under Settings For Internet Settings, type a value in the Proxy Server
box using the following format:
http://<proxy server>:<port>
- You can also specify addresses for which the proxy server setting
should be overridden. By default, the proxy server setting is
overridden only for addresses located on your local area network (or
intranet). To add a specific address or set of addresses that should
override the proxy server setting, add a semicolon, and then the
address, as in the following example:
<local>;www.microsoft.com;*.<myserver>.com
- Click the Proxy Enable check box to select it, and then click OK.
- Save the file, and then quit Policy Editor.
