The easiest way I have done this is by having "Auto-detect Configuration
Settings" turned on in Internet Explorer Maintenance.. 

Then you can configure your DNS, DHCP, and WPAD files inside the local
network to use proxy, and all others will be proxy-less.

I'm pinging a computer on our domain. If the ping succeeds the script
ends; if it fails, I want to run a reg file that disables proxy
settings. I know it didn't run because I checked my proxy settings in IE
and they were enabled. I want them (through my reg file) to be disabled.
This method is how I'm resolving disabling proxy settings for my laptop
users who need to connect to the Internet while not at work.

 

This is the batch file I created:

 

@echo off

 

ping dns1.mazuma.org

 

if errorlevel 1 goto disableIEProxy

 

goto done

 

:disableIEProxy

REGEDIT /S "C:\Support\DisableIEProxy.reg"

 

:done

 

I think my problem is that the cmd box is displaying (or wants to). When
I run the batch file by itself, it works, but displays the cmd window. I
can run the reg file silently, but how do I configure the "ping" part of
my file to run silently. Oh, btw, if you haven't figured it out, I'm a
neophyte scripter. J

 

Any assistance in my scripting inabilities is very much welcomed.

 

Thanks guys!

Shane

And how about security/share permissions - did you make sure to add
"Authenticated Users" or "Domain Computers" to the NTFS & share
permissions (assuming you are running the script from a network
location).

 

Remember the credentials used are "SYSTEM" - which is the same as
running in "computer context"... Could this be the problem?

How do you know it didn't run? What is the script trying to do?

Hmm...that's what I thought, but it didn't work. The batch file works,
but it didn't 'run' when I added it as a start-up script in the Local
Security Policy....hmm....back to the drawing board. J

 

Thanks Jamie!

Should work with any standard executable script (.bat, .cmd, .vbs, etc.)

I created a start-up script to check if my computers are on the domain
and want to add-it to the Local Policy. Does Start-Up scripting policy
area only work with VBS files? The one I created is a batch file.


Thanks!
