vbscript to change IE Proxy

W

William Hymen

I am looking for a hard coded vbscript to plug in
the company proxy and exclusion list:
Connections -> LAN settings -> Proxy Server [advanced] [exceptions];
And another script to "uncheck" all that and enable "Automatically detect
settings"

We are having problems supporting home
users who want to connect to the company
intranet using a VPN client; then later
disconnect and surf the web using their own ISP.
(the ISP would use either NO proxy or automatically detect settings.

They all have cable modems and routers using DHCP.
But we don't support anything beyond the laptop;
that's up to the home user. ( we don't have enough staff to support
routers that they buy)

Nothing seems to work except changing the proxy.

Thanks to much in advance.

Basically just right a script that r/w to the following registry location

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
ProxyEnable <- REG_DWORD Val '0' Off, '1' On
ProxyOverride <- REG_SZ Val ';' delimited

Thanks,

But I'm looking for some vbscript samples
from someone who has coded a working solution.

Thanks anyway!

Here, you click it once it will enable it, you click it again it will disable
it:

I have a little question about this thread (sorry for my inexperience).

How can "insert" this script into a BAT / HTML / COM / EXE file to execute him later??

Thanks in advance

PS: sorry for my horrible english

Batch File

All you should have to do is just create the batch file and put the VBScript file name on the first line of the batch file.

Although you really don't need the batch file, all they need to do is double click on the VBScript. If this is part of a group of commands you need them to run then you could use the batch file, other than that as I mentioned there is no need for a batch file.

did you manage to get this script to work? it doesnt work for me. it executes and nothing happens. Does it depend of the version of IE?
