Setting Internet Explorer Proxy

Hi all,

In everyone opinion, what is the best way to set the proxy for Internet Explorer through Bigfix. I have constructed the following relevance but it always return an error code of -1. When drilling down to the action summary it shows that all steps have been completed. Upon looking on the test machine, the bogus proxy settings I have set to remove are still unchanged. Would anyone be able to point me into the right direction? Thanks.

Hi @JOLUGO

I use following code for setting proxy on IE & Firefox,

Relevance
((name of it = “Win2008” or (name of it = “WinVista” and product type of it != nt workstation product type)) of operating system OR name of operating system = “Win2008R2” OR name of operating system = “Win7”) AND (NOT exists value “Proxy” of keys “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel” of registry)

Action Script:
action uses wow64 redirection true

delete __createfile
delete wizardedit.reg

createfile until @end_create_reg_file
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel]
“Proxy”=dword:00000001
@end_create_reg_file

move __createfile wizardedit.reg
waithidden regedit /s “wizardedit.reg”

Thanks & Regards
Vicky

Hi @vikki

Thanks for your reply. I think I tried using a similar strategy before but I think I may have had the wow64 redirection set to false. I will give this a try and let you know! :slight_smile:
