SUMMARY

This article describes how to create a Windows registry file to configure the proxy server settings on a client computer that is running Microsoft Internet Explorer.

MORE INFORMATION

You can automatically configure the proxy server settings on a client computer by updating the client computer registry. To do this, create a registry file that contains the registry settings you want to update, and then distribute it to the client computer by using a batch file or logon script.

To configure the proxy server settings on a client computer, create the following .reg file to populate the registry with the proxy server information:
Regedit4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MigrateProxy"=dword:00000001
"ProxyEnable"=dword:00000001
"ProxyHttp1.1"=dword:00000000
"ProxyServer"="http://ProxyServername:80"
"ProxyOverride"="<local>"
In this file, ProxyServername is the name of your proxy server.

You can also use the Microsoft Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) to configure proxy server settings on client computers. For additional information about IEAK, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
