Change IE Proxy setting for entire Company...

[Guest]

I have nearly 250 workstations that all have a Proxy server set in IE. We
will not be using the Proxy server any longer and I am looking for a way to
change all the workstations so no proxy settings are in IE. I want them to
use their IP gateways which will direct them to the PIX firewall.

Is their a login script that can make the changes in IE?
Is their a Group Policy that can be applied?

Is Sneakernet the only way?

Yes you can do this in a GPO.

This is configured as a User Configuration under IE Configuration. You will
have to tell it to specify proxy settings and which proxy you want -- in
this case NONE.

Navigate to User Configuration | Windows Settings | Internet Explorer
Maintenance | Connection | Proxy Settings

A GPO would be the prefered method of changing this, but a logon script can
make the change as well. I don't remember off hand where the values are
stored, I'm sure they are in the registry... you can modify the following
vbs script to add in the values you want. just apply it as a logon script
using whatever method you prefer

<script>
Set objShell=CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
KeyName = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\PageSetup\"

'this line would read the value from the registry if you were needing to
pull info out
'val = objShell.RegRead(keyname & "\header")

'this line writes the value to the registry
objShell.RegWrite KeyName & "Header", "&w&bPage &p of &P

set objShell = Nothing
</script>
