set shell = createobject("wscript.shell")
key = _
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\" _

& "Internet Settings\ProxyEnable"
if MsgBox("Disable Proxy server?",vbYesNo) = vbYes then
shell.regwrite key,CLng(0), "REG_DWORD"

Hi,

How do you set the Proxy for every user on a computer?
(I do not wish to use a GPO)

I want to set the Proxy Server = myp...@mycompany.com Port 80
Use same proxy for all protocols.
Ignore proxy for Local stuff

Thanks,

Mike

How to Configure Client Proxy Server Settings by Using a Registry File
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;819961

From a logon script, you can use WshShell.Run to execute "regsvr32 /s ""path
to\myproxy.reg""" or do the equivalent with WsgShell.RegWrite.

I have tried this and it does nothing.

regsvr32 /s ""H:\Files\VBS\proxy.reg""

Here is the Proxy.reg file;

Regedit4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings]
"MigrateProxy"=dword:00000001
"ProxyEnable"=dword:00000001
"ProxyHttp1.1"=dword:00000000
"ProxyServer"="http://myproxy.com:80"
"ProxyOverride"="<local>"

Hi,

I would think Michael really meant

regedit.exe /s

Well, either way IE ignores it. What am I missing here?

Have you checked the registry to see if the changes were imported?

Do you check the exitcode from regedit when you do the WshShell.Run call
(you need to call Run as a function with the bWaitForExit option)?

Are all IE instances closed at the time (direct registry updates do not
affect open IE instances)?

Good Afternoon from New Mexico,

Here is a what if situation lets say the Lan settings us a proxy address for the local network and the vpn connection settings under ie use another proxy address, How can i ensure that both proxies are configured in the settings and are maintained. We have noticed that switching on an off the proxy will dump out the setting for the proxy under IE's dial-up and Virtual Private Network settings.

Thanks in advance
Chris
