I have tried to update the settings with:
netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-server="127.0.0.1:8080" bypass-list=""
also tried:
netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-server="http=127.0.0.1:8080" bypass-list=""
But no effect, the traffic just don't go through the proxy.
I have also used this:
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyServer /t REG_SZ /d 127.0.0.2:8080 /f
but the problem is I can't override the settings, once I pick one proxy, even though I disable the proxy with:
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
the settings stay and I have to go to Internet Explorer > Internet Options > Connection > Lan Settings to change it, and the command doesn't work anymore, just the first time.
I was wrong,
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
does the trick, the thing is, it is necesary to restart the brower to apply the changes.

I'm setting up a Task Sequence(TS) in MDT for deploying Win10 IoT Enterprise. As one of the final steps in the TS I'm trying to add AutoLogon of the user account to the registry. But when the TS finishes and I check, the changes have either not been made or they have been reset by some clean-up script.
I create a new "Run Command Line" step in the TS, right after the Install Applications step that MDT generates automatically. This step runs a script I've added to the Deploy/Scripts folder. I get no errors here, but no result either.
I've tried to export the correct registry-settings to a .reg file and use the "Run Command Line" step to import these. Again, no errors and no result.
I've moved both of these steps down in the list, so that they are the last thing the TS does. Again, no errors and no result.
cmd /c reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v AutoAdminLogon /t REG_SZ /d 1 /f
cmd /c reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v DefaultUserName /t REG_SZ /d <username>/f
cmd /c reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v DefaultDomainName /t REG_SZ /d <Domain> /f
cmd /c reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v DefaultPassword /t REG_SZ /d <password> /f
cmd /c reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v AutoLogonCount /t REG_DWORD /d 500000 /f
I want the AutoLogon to be set automatically. If not, there has to be a procedure for how to set it up and that not only feels unnecessary, but is also a source of errors if its forgotten.
After more googling I finally found:
https://ccmcache.wordpress.com/2018/02/07/workaround-for-windows-10-1709-autoadminlogon-at-the-end-of-configmgr-osd-task-sequence/
Where there is a solution. An ugly one, but the only way I've found that works. So thank you to the author of this.
Using windows, I'd like to know if there is some way to change proxy configuration by modifying the Windows registry through command line.
As said here, you can always do:
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
or
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
This does uncheck the proxy option (see image). However, it does not applies the changes in the system. In other words, you get the option to be checked/unchecked, but it won't be applied unless you don't enter manually in the dialog and press "Accept".
Does anyone know what command makes it work straightforward?
I'm using a batch script to activate Auto logon on a computer that's a member of doamin.
#echo off
REM Set variables
set /p username= What is the username?
set /p domain= What is the domain name?
set /p password= What is the password?
REM Enable Auto Logon
reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v AutoAdminLogon /t REG_SZ /d 1
REM Set Username for logon
reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v DefaultUserName /t REG_SZ /d %username%
REM Set Domain
reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v DefaultDomainName /t REG_SZ /d %domain%
REM Set Password
reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v DefaultPassword /t REG_SZ /d %password%
REM Set number of times to auto logon (0 for infinite)
reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v AutoLogonCount /t REG_DWORD /d 0
Everything works fine after I execute the script, but once I reboot the computer I noticed that the DefaultPassword and AutoAdminLogon values are not saving. I changed the permission but still no luck.
Can you please tell me what am I doing wrong.
If I am reading the documentation correctly, AutoLogonCount decrements each time the system is automatically logged on, and when it reaches 0 then the auto logon is disabled. It sounds like you are configuring it to immediately end logging in automatically. Try not using the AutoLogonCount value at all (or remove it if it exists). I've never used it before and auto logon works forever without it.
I want to disable a standard user from accessing the task manager. With gpedit.msc this works without problems, but I need to do this from the Windows registry. I already tried assigning 1 to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DiableTaskMgr, but it is not working.
I use a bat file:
REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" /v DisableChangePassword /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F
I want to make changes to the Windows Registry through a Powershell script. I use the old fashioned reg add approach and it works quite well. If I run regedit.exe after my script all changes are made but they are lost after a reboot ...
My code:
# Enable Auto Logon
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /f /v "AutoAdminLogon" /t REG_SZ /d "1" > null
$name = Read-Host 'Username'
# Set username for logon
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /f /v "DefaultUserName" /t REG_SZ /d $name > null
# Set users password
$clearPassword = Read-Host 'Password'
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /f /v "DefaultPassword" /t REG_SZ /d $clearPassword > null
# How many times to auto logon? (0 means infinitive)
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /f /v "AutoLogonCount" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" > null
echo "Autologon enabled"
So, what can I do to make these changes persistent in the Windows Registry?
Best regards

This behaviour is by design.
On each reboot, Windows will de-crement the AutoLogonCount. When it is at zero, the registry value is removed to disable auto-logon. The values for DefaultUserName and DefaultPassword may also be cleared.
This feature is generally used during automated Windows client builds/deployments.
This is well documented. E.g. http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/windows7/windows7_auto_logon.htm
