Could someone teach me please how to change proxy settings with a .bat file, or a suggestion?
Honestly I can't find good information about.
I need a .bat file which will change my internet settings (Proxy) with a specific proxy ip and port.
Thank you
The proxy server settings for Internet Explorer are stored in the registry under Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings.
With Powershell (included with Windows since Windows 7) you could use:
set-itemproperty -path "hkcu:Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" -name ProxyServer -value "http=proxy-url:port;https=proxy-url:port;ftp=proxy-url:port;socks=proxy-url:port;" -type string
This setting will only affect Internet Explorer and may require a new tab or maybe even a restart of IE, although that's unlikely.
Another option, if you don't want install Powershell, is to use the command REG.exe.
So, in that case you should add in your batch script:
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyServer /d "http=proxy-url:port;https=proxy-url:port;ftp=proxy-url:port;socks=proxy-url:port;" /t REG_SZ /f
For information, the proxy Internet Explorer settings are also used by Google Chrome

i want to automate something, but it only works if i manually accept the uac window, so i tried to change the registry value with this commads:
c:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k c:\Windows\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
But it only works if i run the cmd as administrator. So again i need to accept the uac window to deactivate the uac windows...
Is there a good way to make this with a script ore something like that, or is there a bypass solution? (for automation puroses)
If you want to modify a registry hive without administrative privileges, you have to do it offline1.
To do so, you can boot into WinRE and then use regedit to modify your hives offline. You can also remove your hard disk and put it into another computer where you have administrative privileges and modify it there.
You can find an example here.
1 Offline in this case means, the hives are not mounted. Or in other words, the Windows installation is not running.
Trying to turn off the Password protected sharing via command line and having no luck at all.
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings
Password protected sharing = Off
I have looked at netsh advfirewall firewall
And only been able to configure the option for Turn on file and printer sharing.
No registry or command i have seen online can alter this setting, The only placed i have not fully explored is group polices.
PC's come in to be setup, we use a default set of look & feel with a number of settings changed. It would of been nice to have have the one Bat file configure all. But this is the only stumbling block i have hit.
Windows 7 (POS Ready)
I have seen a similar post on here: How do you pro grammatically Turn Password Protected Sharing on/off in Windows 7
Unfortunately this has not worked for me.
After a long time researching for myself I discovered that as long as you run the command prompt window with admin access the following works:
reg add Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa /v everyoneincludesanonymous /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
reg add Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters /v restrictnullsessaccess /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
And then you will have to restart your computer (which you can do with shutdown /r).
I want to enable and disable manual proxy setup in windows 7,8 and 8. I want to toggle the manual proxy setup option using command script. I want to create a .bat file using command line and whenever I click on that .bat file, the manual proxy setup option will be toggled. I don't know the command for doing my job. I want to know the command for this job.
I agree with #Quirk this question is better placed in the super user group, but at the same time, users are drawn more often to StackOverflow and get discouraged when they don't find the answer.
Here is something I came up with, also my taught process:
all of Windows configurations that are flags or simple values are kept in the registry
you can manipulate the registry with the REG command
REG /? shows you what you can do
with regedit you can search the registry (F3) for your proxy host name
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
once you found the REG_KEY you are ready to write your script
in conclusion:
here is your 'command' for enabling your proxy:
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings" /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
here is your 'command' for disabling your proxy:
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings" /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
It works, the value is set, but I am pretty sure your Network Settings Window does not get the update until the next time you open it.
Hope this helps.
I want to enable and disable manual proxy setup
To enable:
netsh winhttp set proxy myproxy:80
To disable:
netsh winhttp reset proxy
To show the current settings:
netsh winhttp show proxy

I want to set a proxy throught the command line, first thing I found out is that you have to run command line with administrator rights - then the basic proxy set would be:
netsh winhttp set proxy SERVER:PORT
This works nice, but I also want to add a login. As you can see I've tried using netsh->winhttp, however manual does not say anything about the login part so I just tried:
netsh winhttp set proxy user:password#SERVER:PORT
This unfortunately does not work. Is it even possible to achieve something like this in netsh->winhttp?
If so, how? If not => what windows commands should I follow?

Thanks for help, please feel free to ask any questions if something is unclear.
USING: Windows 7, cmd.exe, netsh->winhttp
EDIT: This looks like the C++ way: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa383144(v=vs.85).aspx , but a better way for C++ might be to go this way: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa385384(v=vs.85).aspx#general_option, - so the remaining question is how to achieve this in command line generally (or even better command-line->netsh->winhttp)?
If you are using Microsoft windows environment then you can set a variable named HTTP_PROXY, FTP_PROXY, or HTTPS_PROXY depending on the requirement.
I have used following settings for allowing my commands at windows command prompt to use the browser proxy to access internet.
set HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy_userid:proxy_password#proxy_ip:proxy_port
The parameters on right must be replaced with actual values.
Once the variable HTTP_PROXY is set, all our subsequent commands executed at windows command prompt will be able to access internet through the proxy along with the authentication provided.
Additionally if you want to use ftp and https as well to use the same proxy then you may like to the following environment variables as well.
set FTP_PROXY=%HTTP_PROXY%
set HTTPS_PROXY=%HTTP_PROXY%
cmd
Tunnel all your internet traffic through a socks proxy:
netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-server="socks=localhost:9090" bypass-list="localhost"
View the current proxy settings:
netsh winhttp show proxy
Clear all proxy settings:
netsh winhttp reset proxy
IE can set username and password proxies, so maybe setting it there and import does work
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 1
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyServer /t REG_SZ /d name:port
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyUser /t REG_SZ /d username
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyPass /t REG_SZ /d password
netsh winhttp import proxy source=ie
The best way around this is (and many other situations) in my experience, is to use cntlm which is a local no-authentication proxy which points to a remote authentication proxy. You can then just set WinHTTP to point to your local CNTLM (usually localhost:3128), and you can set CNTLM itself to point to the remote authentication proxy. CNTLM has a "magic NTLM dialect detection" option which generates password hashes to be put into the CNTLM configuration files.
I am trying to remotely change the wallpaper on about 50 computers that are running Win 7 in a WORKGROUP environment.
I have local admin rights to all of them plus they are running an agent (Faronics) that lets me push .bat .exe .msi .vbs and .ps1 to them remotely.
Just wondering if there was any application that lets me do that remotely or if not, what is the easiest way to get my image to these machines and set it as default wallpaper?
The wallpaper that Windows uses is in the registry under the HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper key
you just can change it with the REG command.
See REG /? and then try...
reg query "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v Wallpaper
and
reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v Wallpaper /t REG_SZ /d D:\my.bmp /f
Replacing the file in the following path C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\TranscodedWallpaper.jpg is hit or miss depending upon the other desktop background settings shown on the GUI and file type.
I have been able to successfully replace the file with another .jpg file renamed TranscodedWallpaper.jpg and put in its place but the Desktop doesn't just update by itself.
You have to force it with the Rundll32.exe user32.dll,UpdatePerUserSystemParameters command.
This is also hit or miss. I have had it work several times correctly while physically on the computer but cannot get the computer to do the same remotely.
Still working on a 100% working remote solution to fully answer the question.
You can use intelliadmin network administrator to change the desktop pictures remotely on all computers at once
