Uncheck automatically detect settings of IE

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

Hi,
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:
User Configuration \ Policies \ Windows Settings \ Internet Explorer Maintenance \ Connection \ Automatic Browser Configuration \uncheck “Automatically detect configuration settings”
For more and detail information, please check the simialr thread:
uncheck "use automatic configuration script" in IE LAN settings

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.

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:

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
http://www.craig-tolley.co.uk/2011/08/30/disable-automatically-detect-settings-in-internet-explorer/
Option Explicit
On Error Resume Next
'Create a constant for the HKEY_CURRENT_USER object

'Define variables
Dim strComputer

DIm binValue
strComputer = "."
strRegistryKey = "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections"
strRegistryValue = "DefaultConnectionSettings"
'Connect to the Registry
Set objRegistry = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
'Retrieve the current settings.
objRegistry.GetBinaryValue HKCU, strRegistryKey, strRegistryValue, binValue
'Change the 'Automatically detect settings' box to unticked

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

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

Turn off Auto Detect Settings in IE using GPO

As a follow-up on some kind of bug in sharepoint ( http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sharepointgeneral/thread/f3dbe651-be99-491b-8c6c-fc4792ae0b22 ) I need to turn off Auto detect settings in IE on all my clients, as this speeds up sharepoint
on many clients.
"The Internet Explorer Maintenance settings can be set in two modes: policy mode (to enable by Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Group Policy\Internet Explorer Maintenance policy processing) or preference mode(to enable by right-clicking
Internet Explorer Maintenance)." (snipped from http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverGP/thread/57d81da5-de30-4930-8649-197d204b2a6c )
Well, I have problem configuring Automatically detect settings. I have no trouble changing other parts of the same policy (changes are applied to all my computers), e.g. trusted sites and such. However I cannot turn off Auto Detect settings. I wonder if unchecking
Auto Detect Settings really means "no change"/unconfigured?
Is the only option then to use a hardcoded reg change?
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ControlPanel\Autoconfig ?

As of IE10/11, this should be set in Group Policy Preferences: [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn338129.aspx]
User Configuration
   └ Preferences
      └ Control Panel Settings
         └ Internet Settings
Create a new IE10 configuration.
Remember you can enable or disable these settings within a preference item by pressing function keys:
F5
Enable all settings on the current tab.
F6
Enable the currently selected setting.
F7
Disable the currently selected setting.
F8
Disable all settings on the current tab.

Cannot update iPod software even after setting automatic detection

Hi, I've been trying to update the software on my 5th gen iPod but to no avail. I've recently bought the pod and just installed iTunes. It informed me that an update was available for the iPod but I can't get it! Everytime I click on Update in the Version section on iTunes, it says "iTunes could not contact the iPod software update server because you are not connected to the internet....Make sure you internet connection is active and try again". The connection is active and i've even tried the method in the hot topics support section telling you to go to 'LAN settings' under the 'Connections' tab in Internet Options and under Automatic Configuration, set it to 'Automatically Detect settings' but this has still not worked. Can someone please help me as this is doing my head in?!!!

yea... something like that is happening to me... when i try to update it (with itunes 7) it says that my firmware is "corrupt".... i dont know what this means because it had no problem updating b4... and no i didnt try to put linux or anything on it. it just wont update.
and if anyone knows.... y does my itunes symbol look like a picture with a camera in the corner... i just downloaded itunes 7 to my friend's computer and it looks just like last itunes but instead of a green music note infront of a cd... its a blue music note infront of a cd... and when i plugged my ipod into his computer it said that my ipod is up to date.... y is that?

Sites work using manual proxy but not with automatic detect

I asked this in the ISA forum but they said since the WPAD file isn't generated by ISA to cross-post over here.
We have an ISA 2006 build 5.0.5712 operating as our web proxy. We have WPAD configured both in DNS and in DHCP to point to this ISA server. There are two sites (rentsentinel.com and epmsonline.com) which when we use the 'Automatically detect settings' option
in IE8, it either gives red X's in part of the homepage (rentsentinel), or doesn't show the page at all (epms). If we manually specify the proxy settings for this same server, it works fine. It would also appear that one can browse fine on random sites, but
once we attempt to browse to one of these two sites, that further browsing to other sites no longer works, even those we visited in the same browsing session.
If I manually specify the http://wpad/wpad.dat file in the config field, no change in behavior. But if I use that same entry in Firefox, both websites render fine. Our wpad.dat is included below, with our internal domain
name switched to domain.com.
I'm looking for help on getting these sites working correctly with automatic detection. Thanks!

Hi,
Sorry for the late response.
Since the issue is complex and difficulty to troublshooting, we discussed for some time corssing the specialty. Here is some direction we may let you know to do further troubleshooting:
capture network trace to confirm whats happening across the wire.
confirm the wpad.dat is the expected.
If you have any difficulty when doing this, we suggest you to contact with IT Pro Support via the link below:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/ms772425?WT.mc_id=SMCfoot_ENUS_TEXT
I think it can help you define the root cause via some deeper tools due to the complicated symptom you have.
I appreciate your understanding and time.

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

My iPhone automaticly detects a new time zone, but updates the time wrong.

The time back home is 22.00, and the time here is 20.00. It detects the right time zone when I check in the settings, but my iPhone and iPad, my boyfriends iPhone and iPad all show 21.00 as the time. I have tried reseting it, but doesnt help. Any suggestions?

Do you have the iPhone set to adjust the Date & Time automatically in Settings > General > Date & Time? If you do and it's wrong, you'll want to contact your carrier because the automatic time is provided by them.
If that isn't it, this Apple doc might help -> iOS: Troubleshooting issues with date and time

Fax detect settings mx459

Hi, has anyone else had issue with fax detect settings on these units? I set it up to automatically detect which it will do, unfortunately it also squeals upon every single call you take about ten seconds into it....I either can bear with that or disable it to manual in which i miss all the faxes i get unless i notice them coming in....I also have an answering machine on this phone line just for more info. Anyone have any luck getting it set up to receive without the annoyances while talking on normal calls? Tried every different combination of setting on the device, followed the instructions in the manual and it still does the squealing when i take calls unless i put it on manual reception...

Hello mansfileddairy,
Setting the User-Friendly RX setting of the printer to ON may resolve the issue you are experiencing. To do this, please follow these steps:
Make sure that the machine is turned on.
Press the FAX button. The Fax standby screen is displayed.
Press the Menu button. The FAX menu screen is displayed.
Use the  button to select Receive mode set, then press the OK button.
Use the  button to select the TEL PRIORITY receive mode, then press the OK button. The confirmation screen asking whether to make advanced settings is displayed.
Use the  button to select Yes, then press the OK button.
Use the  button to select USER FRIENDLY RX, then press the OK button.
Use the  button to specify the ON setting, then press the OK button. The LCD returns to the Fax standby screen after you finish specifying all settings.
Hope this helps!
