Re: Windoze GPO Question

["Jorge L. Vazquez" <jlvazquez825 () gmail com>]

my assumption is that the old domain settings are still in effect, which
  when they login locally need to be refreshed... also if I'm not
mistaken  they will need admin rights to refresh domain policy....and
yes when you join a machine to the domain, domain GP takes precedence
over local policy as they are applied after local policy, that been said
if the computer is a member of an ou in AD and the admin setup internet
explorer settings like proxy etc.... he won't be able to connect to the
internet when outside of network unless user refresh policy first...

hope it helps
