IE LAN Settings: "Automatically detect settings"

I'm currenting running Windows 7 Enterprise with IE8 and i'm having difficulty de-selecting the "Automatically detect settings" check box under LAN Settings.
I've configured my proxy settings using a GPO under the Internet Explorer Maintenance which are applying successfully but the "Automatically detect settings" remains selected even though i have disabled "Automatically detect configuration settings".
Can someone please help? I am trying to apply this on multipul computers so would prefer this to be done via GPO.

Hi, Joanne
Firstly uncheck “Automatically detect settings” at the server where you configure Group Policy.
Or you can save below data to .reg file and input to your registry:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections]
"DefaultConnectionSettings"=hex:46,00,00,00,bc,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,33,00,00,00,68,74,74,70,3a,2f,2f,73,\
69,6e,70,72,6f,78,79,2e,66,61,72,65,61,73,74,2e,63,6f,72,70,2e,6d,69,63,72,\
6f,73,6f,66,74,2e,63,6f,6d,2f,77,70,61,64,2e,64,61,74,9e,ac,06,29,cc,bb,cc,\
01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,9d,3c,3c,70,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
Then when you create GPP, it will get the registry entry value form current registry.
In my test, the value is:
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

  • IE, Disable 'Automatically Detect Settings' Via GPO

    Hi guys,
    We have recently been having a small problem with IE, whereby the 'automatically detect settings' check box will get ticked - resulting in our users not being able to traverse our proxy server.
    I use the User Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > IE Maintenance > Connection to set up our proxy settings, however I can't see an option to explicitly disable the 'automatically detect settings' check box.
    Is this located somewhere else in an admin template, or am I simply missing an option that is right in front of me?
    Thanks.

  • Facing severe problem in IE10 of automatically getting clicked on "use a proxy server" every 5 minutes in LAN Settings whereas it is not required to use any proxy server at all when directly connected through ISP broadband.

    Using Window 8 Pro with IE 10 but facing tremendous problem in LAN settings. Every 5 minutes, it automatically gets clicked on "Use a Proxy Server for the LAN" and am unable to open any page unless the said setting is unclicked. The same applies
    while using Chrome or Firefox browsers.... none of the browsers behave properly and have to repeatedly unclick on proxy server settings (in IE or Chrome) and change settings on Firefox.
    Any suggestions to get rid of this problem...??? Thanks

    Hi,
    It seemed that some malware changed your registry which make proxy server enabled.
    Did you install any proxy agent software recently? If you did, please try uninstalling it now. And then make a full scan
    with malware removal tool.
    http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/malware-removal.aspx
    Or locate to registry,
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings, set "ProxyEnable" = dword:00000000.

  • Mail does not retain correct external server path for Exchange Server '07 even when "automatically detect and maintain account settings" is unchecked. Advice?

    Mail keeps resetting the external server path for an Exchange server '07 account when the program is closed and reopened. This happens even though "automatically detect and maintain account settings" is unchecked. To reset to the correct setting I need to disable the account, make the change and save with the account disabled, close Mail, reopen Mail, and enable the account. Then the settings are maintained and Mail works great... until Mail is closed and reopened again. At that point the server path reverts to an incorrect setting. Anyone else experiencing this? Advice? I don't think this is a problem with the Exchange server because this problem did not happen with OS X Mavericks.

    This this to fix repeated password requests....
    Open Keychain Access in Applications/Utilities
    Search for your Dreamhost accounts. There should be two entries (incoming, outgoing) for each account.
    It's not uncommon to find old entries. You might want to delete all and start clean.The Keychain isn't smart and will keep all old entries when you add/change a password.
    While you are in the Keychain run Keychain First Aid, Under Keychain Access in the Menu bar.
    Open Mail
    Open Connection Doctor.
    If you see red for the account, enter the password again.
    If you continue to have problems, delete the account then add it back.

  • Netsh and Automatically Detect settings

    Hi All,
    I have 'Automatically detect settings' checked in IE and the browser is picking the wpad file as expected. Having said that, I have been unsuccessful trying to set this proxy setting on a system wide level using netsh.
    I have executed the following command in netsh: "winhttp import proxy source=ie"
    I would have expected netsh to pick up the proxy from the auto detect settings but unfortunately no proxy is set as a result of executing that netsh command. Strange enough, if I were to set the proxy settings manually in IE, the netsh import command would
    pick this change and set the proxy successfully.
    Please note that I have attempted this on Windows XP and Windows 7 (using both 32 and 64 versions of netsh) and the 'winhttp import source=ie' only works on XP when automatically detect settings is set in IE.
    Any reason why netsh isn't picking up my auto detect settings on Win7?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Please make sure to follow guide in the following link to manually configure proxy settings with netsh

  • Uncheck'Automatically detect settings' in Internet Explorer

    Hi All
    How to Uncheck 'Automatically detect settings' option in internet explorer using VBScript???

    You can set this in the registry, using batch or vbscript:
    HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Internet Settings/Connections/DefaultConnectionSettings
    The 9th Byte should be changed to 09, this sets the checkbox to automatically detect settings.
    I have used this to switch back between my auto-configuration script and automatically detect settings. If fast switching is what you are after I would use this approach, if you want to manage multiple computer, just push it via group policy.

  • Is Firefox directly linked to IE Explorer via the LAN settings in IE Explorer? I set up a 0.0.0.0 proxy to neuter IE Explorer and it also neutered Firefox.

    I heard I could kill IE Explorer with a simple Tools > Internet Options > Connection > LAN Settings > Proxy Server setup to the address 0.0.0.0.. And, it killed the IE Explorer. From the "question" above, you know I was needing it dead because even though I NEVER run IE Explorer, every time I run CCleaner, it shows it cleans some,IE Explorer cache. I don't know if it's got to run somewhere in the background for some unauthorized reason (?) or if I have some strange virus / trojan / backdoor something that's somehow using IE Explorer to call a server and my AV (Avast) can't detect any of it. Thing is, I got IE Explorer to begone, but I could no longer access internet through Firefox either. I reset my router, cleaned like an OCD maid, and restarted. Nada. Just wouldn't connect. Another system connected to the router worked just fine. I went back into IE Explorer and tried un-checking the proxy server and quit. Sure enough, Firefox was again sucking in and spitting out packets. Question is: Are IE Explorer and Firefox connected via IE Explorer LAN settings? Or is there some malware that uses IE Explorer to communicate? And, if the latter, any ideas WTF? This is a new problem, Has anyone else seen phantom IE Explorer cache being cleaned up without ever being run?
    Thanks, and sorry this is so long!

    hello magnanadanna, you can set up different proxy settings for firefox. go to ''firefox/tools > options > advanced > network > connection - settings...'' and select '''no proxy'''.

    I cant find Tools, its not there. So, how do I change my LAN settings.
    Or where do I find Tools?

    You can find the connection settings here:

    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

  • Unable to make changes to LAN Settings in IE after Group Policy Preference is applied

    Hi all,
    I have an IE10 group policy preference on a Server 2008 R2 domain that is pushed out to Windows 7 SP1 x64 clients. This IE10 GPP is used to push out proxy settings etc. The GPP is applied fine, however when I go into LAN Settings in IE and make any
    changes such as unchecking "Use a proxy server..." these changes are not saved. As soon as I click OK and go back into LAN Settings it reverts back to the GPP settings. Are IE10 GPP's meant to allow a user to amend settings in IE? The users have
    permissions to write to the Connections key under Internet Settings in the registry. If I delete the Connections key (Which includes DefaultConnectionSettings and SavedLegacySettings) I can then make changes to the proxy (Although without the original settings).
    I know their are other, and better, methods of controlling proxy settings for users but unfortunately this is the way the customer has it implemented. All defaults for GP is applied such as refresh rate etc. I've tested IE10 on a Server 2012 R2 / Win8 environment
    with the exact same GPP settings and I can make changes to the LAN Settings. Is this possibly a bug? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    So by now we could make it work by deleting the Connections key, in order to change the proxy settings of IE 10-Windows 7 in the Windows Server 2008 R2 environment?
    Besides, could it be convenient for us to perform some more tests here? How IE 10 of Windows 7 behaves in Server 2012 R2 environment? And Windows 8 in Server 2008 R2?
    Best regards

  • Internet Options, LAN Settings don't save when using Run As

    Hi,
    On Windows Server 2012 RTM with IE ESC off I can log on to the console of the server as UserA, I can open IE, open the Internet Options window, select the Connections tab, click LAN Settings, change a setting (eg specify a proxy server), click OK, and click
    LAN Settings again to confirm my changes were saved.
    However, if whilst logged on as UserA, I right-click the IE icon on the taskbar, select "Run as different user" and specify credentials for UserB instead, any changes I make in the LAN Settings window are forgotten the moment I click OK.
    But, if I log on to the console of the server as UserB and open IE, the LAN Settings window does remember the changes I make, so this is not a user permissions or Group Policy issue.
    Additionally, if I use Fiddler's "Tools, WinINET Options" menu to access the Internet Options window, I experience the same variations in behaviour I described above depending on whether Fiddler is run from the console user, or via "Run as different user".
    Lastly, using Sysinternals's ProcMon, when the LAN Settings are saved correctly, I can see it is done via DllHost.exe (WinInetBroker) calling GetUrlCacheEntryInfoEx which in turn writes the "Internet Settings\Connections\DefaultConnectionSettings" value
    to the registry. I can also see iexplore.exe writing the "Internet Settings\Connections\SavedLegacySettings" key. When attempting to change the LAN Settings when "Run as a different user", ProcMon still shows the successful write to the SavedLegacySettings
    key but the other key is never written to, there isn't even an Access Denied.
    A reference to "GetAppContainerRegistryLocation" in one of the ProcMon captured stack traces suggests this is behaviour new to Windows 8 as part of the "Metro"-style app isolation, however this is occuring in IE desktop mode and Fiddler (which is not a Metro
    app).
    I believe this is either a bug that needs to be fixed to allow changes to save correctly or return an error when attempting to save the changes if they will be ignored. At the very least, this behaviour needs to be documented.
    Regards,
    Jason

    Hi Jason,
    I have tested in my lab, and got same result with you. below is my test and results.
    1. log on with user1>> click "IE" and select "Run as different user">> type user2's credential >>change proxy, click "OK". open "internet option" again, the change was not saved.
    2. log on with user2, check proxy in IE, the change was not saved.
    Then I tested on "Home Page", zone settings, , I found the changes can be saved.
    I have done further test on other applications, such as notepad (enable/disable status base), calculator (View >> standard/scientific/programmer/statistics), the change can be save from "Run as different user".
    since this is a behavior of IE, I suggest you submit a post in IE forum and IE experts may give you explanation on that.
    Thanks.

    I need to edit the IE LAN settings in GP using only computer settings. The changes I'm making are going to be applied to laptop users only, I don't want the settings applied to users as our users connect in various different ways (Desktops, laptops, so on)
    The changes I'm making cannot affect the desktops, only the laptops & it cannot affect all users, only laptop users.
