Script to set the user proxy settings

 This is a VB script to set the user proxy settings . This can be used as a logon script ro set some specific proxy settings. I had found this after a extensive serach so though of sharing the same.

================================================================= 

Const HKCU=&H80000001 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Const HKLM=&H80000002 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

Const REG_SZ=1
Const REG_EXPAND_SZ=2
Const REG_BINARY=3
Const REG_DWORD=4
Const REG_MULTI_SZ=7

Const HKCU_IE_PROXY = "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings"

Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:!root/default:StdRegProv")

Main

Sub Main()

' If Proxy is set then turn it off
If GetValue(HKCU,HKCU_IE_PROXY,"ProxyEnable",REG_DWORD) = 1 And Len(GetValue(HKCU,HKCU_IE_PROXY,"ProxyServer",REG_SZ)) > 0 Then
CreateValue HKCU,HKCU_IE_PROXY,"ProxyEnable",0,REG_DWORD
wscript.echo "Proxy Disabled"
Else
' If Proxy is not set then turn it on

strProxyServer = "<ProxyserverNameorip:portnumber>"
strProxyOveride = "*.microsoft.com;<local>"

' Specify the Bypass proxy list in this i have selected local and microsoft.com in bypass list

CreateValue HKCU,HKCU_IE_PROXY,"ProxyServer",strProxyServer,REG_SZ
CreateValue HKCU,HKCU_IE_PROXY,"ProxyEnable",1,REG_DWORD
CreateValue HKCU,HKCU_IE_PROXY,"ProxyOverride",strProxyOveride,REG_SZ
wscript.echo "Proxy Enabled" & vbcrlf & "(" & strProxyServer & ")"
End If

End Sub

Function CreateValue(Key,SubKey,ValueName,Value,KeyType)
Select Case KeyType
Case REG_SZ
CreateValue = oReg.SetStringValue(Key,SubKey,ValueName,Value)
Case REG_EXPAND_SZ
CreateValue = oReg.SetExpandedStringValue(Key,SubKey,ValueName,Value)
Case REG_BINARY
CreateValue = oReg.SetBinaryValue(Key,SubKey,ValueName,Value)
Case REG_DWORD
CreateValue = oReg.SetDWORDValue(Key,SubKey,ValueName,Value)
Case REG_MULTI_SZ
CreateValue =oReg.SetMultiStringValue(Key,SubKey,ValueName,Value)
End Select
End Function

Function DeleteValue(Key, SubKey, ValueName)
DeleteValue = oReg.DeleteValue(Key,SubKey,ValueName)
End Function

Function GetValue(Key, SubKey, ValueName, KeyType)

Dim Ret

Select Case KeyType
Case REG_SZ
oReg.GetStringValue Key, SubKey, ValueName, Value
Ret = Value
Case REG_EXPAND_SZ
oReg.GetExpandedStringValue Key, SubKey, ValueName, Value
Ret = Value
Case REG_BINARY
oReg.GetBinaryValue Key, SubKey, ValueName, Value
Ret = Value
Case REG_DWORD
oReg.GetDWORDValue Key, SubKey, ValueName, Value
Ret = Value
Case REG_MULTI_SZ
oReg.GetMultiStringValue Key, SubKey, ValueName, Value
Ret = Value
End Select

GetValue = Ret
End Function

==========================================

Hope this helps.

    Hi Sudheesh, Thanks for this script. It will be more helpful if you could modify the script to detect current IP subnet of the machine, and set the appropriate Proxy Server address of the subnet. Thanks again.
