Proxy Exception at Internet Explorer does not work

Description:
You have set proxy exception for IE through Group Policy (GPO). For some reason the setting won’t apply to user’s computer. You verified that the GPO has the right setting and has no conflict with other GPO. You also confirmed that the GPO was applied to user’s computer, but the computer registry contains different data.

Resolution:
Please check the exception list content. Make sure there’s no invalid character or value. If the http address in Proxy Exception list contains more than two “/” characters, the IE Branding extension would accept this setting. You should remove the rest of the “/” from the http address in proxy exception list.
