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.

Hi
I need to uncheck only "automatically detect settings" on XP workstation.
I searched lots of Google but could not right solution.

Thanks for your posting.
You can create a GPO, link it to a scope (Site, Domain, or OU level) which contain user account object.
Configure the GPO:

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.
Glen

here is a script that does the trick: source

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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

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
mskh

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

ActiveX settings in Internet Explorer for ZCI

Hi all,
regarding to SAP Note 766191 ACF needs several ActiveX components activated to work within a WebDynpro.
I searched the SAP Notes database for similar notes regarding ZCI but didn't found any.
After try and error I found out that ZCI needs the same ActiveX settings in the Internet Explorer like ACF as well.
But the customer has all ActiveX components deactivated, so my question is:
Is there an alternative for ActiveX or is ActiveX a must for working with IF (within WebDynpro)?
Kind regrards,
Alex

Hello Maarten,
sadly, your answer didn't help, because this is the same what SAP says.
But "After try and error I found out that ZCI needs the same ActiveX settings in the Internet Explorer like ACF as well."
This is the reality on my test system. I created a ZCI form, added the necessary scripting, changed the layout type for the form / for the WebDynpro ABAP to ZCI / native and it only works pretty fine as long as I have the named ActiveX components activated...
Maybe you would like to test it on one of your systems, I would be interessted if you had the same problem when deactivating the ActiveX components.
Besides, my test system is the SAP NW2004s Trial Version with SP12 right here from the SDN and I connected another Trial Version of NW2004s with a Java Stack.
Kind regards,
Alex

Multiple Tab Home refresh issue, I would like to not get 6 new tabs to open when I hit the home button, I would like it to refresh the six tabs I already have open back to the saved settings. Internet explorer does this.

I like to have my home button restore multiple tabs for me. Sometimes I close some of the default tabs or they move from their default pages. Based on my experience with internet explorer I first select the left most tab and then hit the home button. It restores all saved tabs in the default. With Firefox is always opens brand new tabs and moves the existing ones to the right. Is there a setting to make it not open all new tabs.

That's the way the Homepage button works in Firefox, it reloads one tabbed homepage and opens all the rest of your homepages in new Tabs, appending the Tabs that are already open.
IIRC, the TabMix Plus extension has an option to reload your Homepages in existing tabs.

I would like to import Security Trusted Sites and Popup Settings from Internet Explorer

We are setting Firefox up on our Resource Room Computers and do not want to re-enter trusted sites and popup settings. How can I import them?

Please help me get rid of this Pop up, it is driving me mad. I tried to access the forum on your address BUT the Conduit sight would not allow.
Please can anyone help.

Flash Player does not display pop-ups. If you are experiencing this behaviour you most likely have malware installed on your system. You'll want to scan your system with anti-malwareand anti-virus software.

Internet Explorer always trying to go through proxy

Hi everyone,
I'm having a strange issue with Internet Explorer - it's always trying to go through my corporate proxy server, which is available only while I'm connected to the corporate network via VPN. So the moment I disconnect from VPN, I must go to IE LAN
Settings and uncheck "Automatically detect settings". If I don't do that, no matter what, it won't get past the message "The proxy server isn't responding...".
I think I tried pretty much everything I could find relevant on TechNet... it still doesn't help.

Other than that, scanned for viruses/malware, installed the latest updates, tried the "obvious stuff".
Also got a Microsoft support technician connected to the computer remotely - today he suggested to escalate this issue.
I'd be very grateful for any ideas,
Thanks!!

Hi dsafro,
We wonder if the corporate network has group policy for proxy settings, seems like your Internet Explorer keeps policy settings even when you disconnect from VPN.
Does closing and reopen Internet Explorer change the settings back?
The proxy setting registry entry is in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\
"ProxyEnable"=dword:00000000
1 for enable 0 for disable
When you disconnect from VPN, the value should be changed back to 0.
We suggest you perform a trace by using process monitor
As a workaround, the proxy pac file might be help.
Here is an example which can change your proxy settings according your network IP address.
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
if (isInNet(myIpAddress(), "192.168.1.0", "255.255.255.0"))
return "PROXY 192.168.1.1:8080";
else
return "DIRECT";
You might need change the “”part depends on your network environment.

Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox are not working in Windows 8

Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox are not working in Windows 8

I found this on another forum and it worked for me.
This problem usually has to do with TCP/IP or Winsock requiring a reset.
Winsock entries tells Windows 7 how to access your network services. Additionally, your TCP/IP protocol can
be corrupted. The TCP/IP protocol is a stack of 4 layers that includes several transport layers, but when this stack is corrupt you will constantly have connectivity issues.
You need Admin access to enter the codes below. Windows button + x, then choose Command Prompt (Admin)
netsh winsock reset catalog (reset winsock entries)
netsh int ip reset reset.log hit (reset TCP/IP stack)
You may have to reinstall Chrome and Firefox or reboot to have the chnage take place.
Hi,
This seems to be the only solution to my problem, however this is temporary. Any advice on a more permanent resolution?
I have also tried to disable "Automatically detect settings" under: "Internet Options/Connections/LAN settings/Automatically
detect settings".
This has no affect.
Thanks,

Internet Explorer Security Settings for Previewing in Developer

Hello Marc,
I just 2 weeks new to UPK. I just switched over to a new laptop and now when I try to preview UPK in try it mode (local install), I receive an error message that says PREVIEW CANNOT OPEN "preview requires intranet settings to be enabled. These settings are located on the security tab in the Internet Settings of Internet Explorer." I current use IE 7.0. Can you advise which settings need to be changed?

Hello,
For See It! and Try It! mode preview you will need to do the following:
Tools > Internet Options > Security (tab) > Local Intranet (icon) > Sites. Check all of the boxes. “Automatically detect intranet network” must be unchecked for the other buttons to be available. Once you check everything, you can re-check “Automatically detect intranet network”.
For Do It! mode preview you will need to do the following:
Tools > Internet Options > Security (tab) > Local Intranet (icon) > Custom level... Scroll down until you see the option for "Allow script-initiated windows without size or position constraints" (a little more than halfway down) and set this option to Enable.
This should allow you to properly preview these modes in the UPK Developer.
Best regards,
Marc

IE8 Automatic detect setting uncheck

Hi All,
I need your help to uncheck the IE automatic detect settings via GPO, already i have configred my GPO, which i havent enabled the automatic detect settings. But still my users are not able to browse the intranet pages due to this setting enabled automatically
in the IE8. Kindly help me how to fix this issue, as i have gone through so many forums, but i couldnt get a solid answer for this.

Hi,
Sorry, I misunderstand your posting before.
Okey, now please check the GPO version through Group Policy Management console\GPO preperties\Details tab\, make sure user version (AD) and (Sysvol) has the same version.
Generate a Group Policy result for a user through Group Policy Management Console, check applied user GPO, check whether the GPO version.
Go back to GPO, edit the GPO settings, check “Automatically detect configuration settings”, save it, GPO version will update.
Once again, go back to GPO, edit GPO settings, uncheck “Automatically detect configuration settings”, save it, GPO version will update.
On your client computer, run Gpupdate /force to apply modified GPO and check the result.
If still don’t work, you may use group policy to modify registry to uncheck that option.
HEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Internet Settings\Connection

Windows failed to apply the Internet Explorer Zonemapping settings - the data was invald (event ID: 1085)

Hi All,
I have a large domain and a long list of websites that are trusted using the following group policy setting:
Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer> Internet Control Panel > Security Page >
Site to Zone Assignment List
On all (XP/vista/win7) workstations across the domain I'm getting the following error:
Log Name: System
Source: Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy
Event ID: 1085
Task Category: None
Level: Warning
Keywords: Description: Windows failed to apply the Internet Explorer Zonemapping settings. Internet Explorer Zonemapping settings might have its own log file.
There's nothing either side of this error in the log that shines any more light on the issue.
I know which group policy object its applying these settings but cant find which of the entries in the site to zone assignment list is causing this issue. I looked in the
Group Policy/Operational log but all I see is the following entry which says "completed" but is logged as an error:
After some research I'm guessing that the issue is an incorrect wild-card. This is what my trusted sites list looks like (with names removed of course):
http://servername.*
*.internaldomain.com.au
*.domain.com.au
*.domain.*
*.externaldomain.com
*.domain.inernaldomain.com.au
*.domain.*
*.domain/name.*
*.domain.inernaldomain.au*
*.domain.com
Is there something obviously incorrect here?
Does anyone know where I could find an article that clearly outlines the acceptable wildcard syntax for the
"Security page\ site to zone assignment list" group policy? Ive read every forum post, website and blog I could find on the internet but nothing is clear and I wasn't able to find an MS document that steps it out. I've also changed the
existing list a number of times based on blog posts etc but had no luck.
**Please Note**
I dont want to change to a different method or have an intellectual debate re why I would have these sites/wildacrd/policy set. I'm really looking to see what entry is invalid and where the documentation is for this policy setting so i can make sure they are
always correct in the future.
thanks in advance for your time and assistance

UPDATE:
I disabled the original policy and created a new one with only one trusted site address in it. Then I logged into a clean test machine did some testing.What I found after a few hours of testing was; regardless of the site that I have listed in group policy
The HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Current version\Internet Settings\Zone Map Key registry entry is
always updated with that entry on the workstation. So the workstation's registry always updates the key with
*.sitename.com per the site that I have set in GP
If I run GPUPDATE /FORCE over and over again, on the same machine, under the same user account, using the same DC I get:
Failure, Failure, Failure, Success, Success, Success, Failure etc
I wasn't able to determine any pattern to the failures, I tried stopping some of the processes on that machine but didn't find anything that would make it fail/succeed reliably.
There is no AV or firewalls installed on my test machine
Anyone have any more ideas? I think I might install filemon and try to capture some more data unless there's a better tool?

Yes, and that's straight from my Microsoft TAM. As long as you include an asterisk inside those site-to-zone mappings, you'll continue to see them. The key is whether or not they're working. In my environment, I've seen complete success using the
http://*.domain.com, or
https://*.domain.com, no matter if the site is http://www.domain.com or
http://milk.does.a.body.good.domain.com. Despite the success, we continue to see the errors. It's much the same as Group Policy Preferences where you can apply a setting once, or repeatedly. If you apply
something repeatedly and it's already set, lookout for some complaints in the application log. It really is annoying. There's potential to play with the logging levels, but I'll admit that my experience ranks as "novice" in this specific section of group policy.
This link might get the creative juices flowing:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2008/07/18/enabling-group-policy-preferences-debug-logging-using-the-rsat.aspx
I see you've already read a number of articles including "a test case for troubleshooting those event IDs"... I sympathize with your efforts. I despise warnings and errors that I can't solve or don't want to see, but I've researched a number of them to death
and found that many are simply "normal". Uggg... I hope this helps, but please take my advice, as with anyone else's out here, with caution. I've seen some crazy recommendations. I saw a recommendation to install SQL on a DHCP server to get failover clustering
up and running. I hope the guy asking for help didn't listen to that one! : ) - josh
