I recently found myself taking over the support of an IT environment in which the Internet Explorer configurations were far from standardised. One particular pain experienced was that some client PCs had a variety of different proxy servers configured, not all of which resulted in a successful Internet browsing service.
What I needed to do was remove any proxy servers configured on the clients within the environment to standardise the PCs. How I managed this thanks to a forum post on Microsoft technet is explained after the jump.
- Create setproxy.reg (any filename can be used)
- Open notepad & paste the Below content
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections]
"SavedLegacySettings"=hex:3c,00,00,00,08,00,00,00,09,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"DefaultConnectionSettings"=hex:3c,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,09,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
- Save it as setproxy.reg
- Copy setproxy.reg to login script folder.
- Add the following line to the login script.
- Regedit /s setproxy.reg
