Script to enter proxy settings

[northeast_technician]

could someone do me a logon script to add proxy settings please?

proxy address: 10.0.0.20

port: 8080

 

Kind regards

[jamesreedersmith]

you can set these more easily via GPO/Preferences.

[northeast_technician]

Thought they took that option out with ie10

[fairm010]

They removed IE maintenance with IE10 but you can do Internet Options via GPP.

Watch out though - IE 10 and above group policy settings need to be managed from a Windows 2012 Server or Windows 8 machine. They are not available on a Windows 7 or 2008 server. I just installed the admin tools on 2012 server and remote in to do any IE policy settings.

Ah yes, should have mentioned that. I am Server 2012 R2 domain with Win 7 x64 clients.

[fairm010]

But.. Here is your script.

 

I'd do a reg entry (Proxyon.reg)

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"ProxyEnable"=dword:00000001
"ProxyServer"="10.0.0.20:8080"

 

And then use a .bat to merge it:

 

@ ECHO OFF

ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO Applying school proxy settings, please wait...
ECHO.
ECHO.
regedit /s proxyon.reg
ECHO.
ECHO.
ECHO School proxy settings applied succesfully!
ECHO.
ECHO.
EXIT

If you're unable to use GPP (I written about this in the past on Edugeek), the alternative is a regedit and a batch file to install/run the file silently at logon.

 

Something like:

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"ProxyEnable"=dword:00000001
"ProxyOverride"="localhost;127.0.0.1"
"ProxyServer"="10.0.0.20:8080"

 

In your login script add:

 

regedit /s \\servername\netlogon\proxy\proxy.reg

[northeast_technician]

Where do I store the reg edit file

[fairm010]

Id same in the same directory as your logon script, the netlogon directory. The path in your logon script must point to the .reg file.

[northeast_technician]

Id same in the same directory as your logon script, the netlogon directory. The path in your logon script must point to the .reg file.

 

Followed script but getting syntax error

[fairm010]

What is the Syntax error?

[northeast_technician]

attached

[fairm010]

Youve saved it as a .vbs. Its a .bat.

[northeast_technician]

Now getting not a valid reg entry

[fairm010]

Did you copy mine or Michaels reg entry?

[northeast_technician]

Yours mate

[fairm010]

What OS? My entry works fine on Win 7 Pro x64

[northeast_technician]

Am I worth setting reg entry through gpo

[northeast_technician]

Pro 7 x86

[fairm010]

You can do it like that yes. But have you tried the GPP way, assuming you have Server 2012?

[northeast_technician]

Server 2008 r2 mate

[fairm010]

I'd go to this key in the registry, having all the proxy settings entered as you want in IE. Then export the key an use that with your logon script.

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]

[Michael]

The GPP method works with 2008 Server or later and is certainly a 'cleaner' way of implementing proxy settings, but the results are the same. Here's how to do the GPP method

[Michael]

And just to clarify, this works with Windows XP onwards using IE8, IE9, IE10 and IE11. The settings in this area haven't changed at all. Just make sure you have GPP extensions installed on XP clients if applicable.
