GPO Policy To Set IE proxy for local machine (Windows Server 2022 target)

Posted by MikeyJSabin@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 1 comments

Is there a way to create a GPO policy so that all machines in an OU get Proxy Server set for all users (including Network Service). I have tried using an GPO policy that has the following regkeys set, but it doesn't seem to be working...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings::ProxySettingsPerUser = 0

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings::ProxyEnable = 1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings::ProxyServer= Address:Port

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings::ProxyOverride =

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings::MigrateProxy = 1

Have you tried to set it on a per user base?
In a domain even service users should get the config (or I'm wrong and because our services are mostly with proxy settings or don't need an external connection it's not a problem for us)
That's working for us on all systems (since win7 up to server 2025 and w11 24h2)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

and just "ProxyEnable=1", "ProxyOverride=;your local adresses" and "ProxyServer=your proxy server"

And your gpo is applied to the system you are testing on?
