Policy setting Applied that doesn't exist?

Hey Fellas,

Got a policy issue that's got me a bit stumped at the moment.  Were busy pushing out a new proxy so applying an IE preference setting to set this for a few test machines.

Trouble is its not getting applied, another policy is applying its settings instead.  

Somehow a policy set at the top level is setting the old school "Policies > internet maintenance" connection settings.

I've ran RSOP (on the client) and GP Modelling (from GPMC) and both confirm this top level policy is setting the proxy, however when go into try to edit the policy applying the settings, the settings aren't actually set in there.

I've come across preferences that can't be seen on different level OS's but never Policy settings.  I can't see the settings from either my 2008 or 2012 r2 servers.

So any ideas what I'm missing here?

Environment:

4 x 2008 R2 Domain Controllers (Inetres.admx updated with IE10 settings)

1 x 2012 R2 Management server to run GPMC on

Clients are Win 7 with IE 11

Hi,

Thanks for your post.

Have you tried gpupdate /force before?

Could you please run run GPMC GP Results wizard against the machine that is supposed to get Preferences.

What does it say, particularly around the Applied and Denied GPOs. Is your Prefs GPO listed as Applied?

Here is the setting of Group Policy Internet Explorer 11 Group Policy Preferences, could you please check if all the setting are right?
