How to change client proxy settings for W2K domain? 1

[cruncher1]

I need to change the proxy settings for all clients on a W2K domain. Is there an easy way to do this? Possibly using login script or GPO. I don't have time to go to each workstation.

Thanks for any help.

You can set them by altering registry keys in the logon script.

these keys:

Thank you, browolf. That is very helpful. How is the best way to incorporate that into a logon script? I have been looking at kixtart. Would you mind giving an example? I have written batch files to add to logon.bat, but am unsure how change the registry key this way. The server is W2K. The clients are W9x, WME, W2K. Any additional help is greatly appreciated.

i use windows scripting host myself. With scripts written in vbscript.

e.g.

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell&quot
' fixing internet explorer startpage
WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Start Page", "

http://192.168.0.4:8000"

WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoFileURL", "0x00000000"

for help with vbscript and wsh you need the free .chm help files.
