Get Windows internet the settings when automatic is ticked - windows

If I have Automatically detect settings then this tells Windows to go off and iscover what the settings should be (I think?).
How can I either get the address Windows is using to get the config. file or get the actual settings it's using?

Virtual Shared Driver Indexing problems

We just virtualized a Windows server in Azure and everything in working fine on Client side, but we are not being able to solve the indexing search problem.
When you have a local drive, Windows can index the path and searches works fine using Windows menu/search box in task bar. But for shared drives it seems to fail.
In Windows Explorer the search pretends to work, but it takes forever to find a file or folder. And sometimes it just won't move anywhere. So it is not an option for users since them are used to search using menu bar.
We have tried to change drive properties in Right button to Shared Driver > "Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties, but it was already enabled.
When we try to disable it, it prompts an error saying that the user doesn't have permission to do it, but it does anyway. And when we try to re-enable, the message prompts again, but it is enabled with no problem at all. But once again, nothing changes and Initial Menu Search just won't work.
Does anyone knows if there is a solution for that?
For me it seems to be an server setup since I see that permission error, but, as far as I know, if the shared driver is already mounted, I can't see a reason why Windows can't index it.
Ps.1: In the shared drive security tab, the System has full permissions.
Ps.2: If there is a solution for this, is that possible to solve it on the Windows server Side so we won't need to access client by client to change it manually?
enter image description here
Please check the following setting and see.
1.First thing is to check network location is being indexed. open File Explorer right-click on the mapped network drive that you need to index, then select the Properties and Make sure that, the Allow Files on this Drive to Have Contents Indexed checkbox is selected.
You have already done this step
2.try to check the search options for network drive in file explorer, go to view tab>>click on Options Icon and choose the change folder and search option menu it will open the folder options dialog box and select search tab and make sure first option is not selected
3.check server side Indexing
4.we need to make sure search service needs to be running.
Open services.msc check for the wndows search service and try to restart the service.
5.Go to Settings on the Windows 10 desktop, then click on Search, followed by Searching Windows scroll down and try to run the indexer troubleshooter

IIS Manager in Windows 10

How do you open IIS (Internet Information Services) Manager using Windows 10?
I have installed the developer preview of Windows 10 and can't seem to find IIS Manager? It is not in Control Panel > Administrative Tools.
When I browse to the
folder C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv
it is empty.
I did a full search of my hard drive to find inetmgr.exe and found three copies and none of them would open, when I tried to open them it says "This App cannot Run on your PC" To find a version of the App that works contact the publisher.
I know IIS works because I have ran local ASP.net apps through VisualStudio, but I can't seem to find any way to launch IIS Manager to do some configurations for a site.
Anyone know anything about this?
Thanks to #SLaks comment above I was able to turn on IIS and bring the manager back.
Press the Windows Key and type Windows Features, select the first entry Turn Windows Features On or Off.
Make sure the box next to IIS is checked.
If it is not checked, check it. This might take a few minutes, but this will install everything you need to use IIS.
When it is done, IIS should have returned to Control Panel > Administrative Tools
Under the windows feature list, make sure to check the IIS Management Console
You also need to check additional check boxes as shown below:
Actually you must make sure that the IIS Management Console feature is explicitly checked. On my win 10 pro I had to do it manually, checking the root only was not enough!
#user1664035 & #Attila Mika's suggestion worked. You have to navigate to Control Panel -> Programs And Features -> Turn Windows Features On or Off. And refer to the screenshot. You should check IIS Management console.
Run appwiz.cpl - brings up Programs and Features
Choose "Turn Windows Features On/Off"
Select the IIS Services you need
after turning IIS on (by going to Windows Features On/Off) type inetmgr in search bar or run
To install the IIS Management Console under Windows 10 using Powershell with RSAT installed:
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName IIS-ManagementConsole -All
Credit and thanks to Mikhail's comment above.
It most likely means that IIS Management Console was not installed, and modern Windows administrator/IT pro should be able to quickly check this by issuing this command:
Get-WindowsFeature *Web*
And if it is missing just quickly add this via the following command:
Add-WindowsFeature Web-Mgmt-Console
GUI options mentioned above are also valid (see answer from #Joe Wu) but PowerShell it is best way to do IT for IT Pro or let's put it as "if you have to do this slightly more often than once a year" :)
Press the Windows Key and type Windows Features, select the first entry Turn Windows Features On or Off.
Make sure the box next to IIS is checked. You good to go.
Launch Windows Features On/Off and select your IIS options for installation.
For custom site configuration, ensure IIS Management Console is marked for installation under Web Management Tools.
I arrived here because I was having the same issue.
If you are here and everything above didn't work, it's likely that you butchered your path somehow.
Go to System -> Advanced System Settings -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> Machine or User and add the following entry to the end, or append to the existing, separating with a semi-colon:
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv
After closing and opening your shell, you should now be able to access inetmgr from the command line.

How to programatically revert to system proxy settings on Windows?

I have my program running on windows which has the option to configure custom proxy settings.
Under the hood, I use SetInternetOption with INTERNET_OPTION_PER_CONNECTION_OPTION flags, changing the proxy settings for the entire process.
I want to allow users to revert to the default system (INET) proxy setting (as defined in Internet Explorer tools menu -> connections -> LAN settings).
Is there a way to revert all custom changes made through SetInternetOption and restore the current default system proxy settings?
Note: I thought about querying for the current INET settings and then just manually setting it (with SetInternetOption). This solution is not elegant and I'm also worried I might not be able to restore the exact same settings, because for example since IE8 the actual proxy settings may differ from the settings as they are configured in Internet Explorer UI.

How do I set the Internet Options? Specifically the LAN Settings tick boxes

I'd like to set the tick box options within the LAN settings of the Internet Options:
I'd prefer the code in a script or C#, but C/C++ would be fine as well. Please answer with the code/script to at least untick the "Use automatic configuration script" option.
THANKS!
They answer appears to be here if you dont mind using powershell
Setting Proxy settings in ie using powershell
The name of the auto config file is stored in this registry key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\AutoConfigURL
You can use the Registry Functions to access the key:

Programmatically Change System Network (Proxy) settings

Is there a way, from within a Cocoa application to change the system network settings (specifically, the proxy settings). I've found that there is a file called preferences.plist in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration that has the settings I want, but I can't figure out how to get the system to process changes to this file without rebooting.
Can this be done programmatically, or at least by launching some command? (This solution would probably be 10.5.x only, I'm assuming)
Since I can change these settings in System Preferences immediately, there must be some way, it just eludes me ....
Thanks!
You want the SystemConfiguration framework, specifically the Proxies Dictionary (see here for more details).
