#173488 - 2007-02-01 04:07 AM Script to change Proxy address and remove connection tab
sgraham978 sgraham978 Fresh Scripter Registered: 2007-02-01 Posts: 11	Not sure if this is possible or not, but what I would like to do is write a script that would check the ip address of a computer, then if it determines that it's on our network it would set the proxy address to a particular address and then disable the connection tab. If it doesn't find an address on our network then it changes the proxy to blank and leaves the tab. Is it possibel to write a kix script to do the above or am I asking too much???

Why not just deploy proxy through WPAD? _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

When the laptop users are not connected to the network then they obviously won't get the login script, although what I was thinking of doing was putting it on their machines locally so that when the start the computers up off the network then they still get the script. That was the plan anyway, of course if there's a better way of doing it then I'm happy to do it another way. The reason I wanted to automate it all in the script was because when the laptop users go offsite they generally need to turn the proxy off, but when they come back into the office they need to turn it on again. A lot of them either forget or don't want to have the hassle and then some just don't turn it back on at all when in the office and they end up using our dedicated internet link for emails etc instead of the account for browsing the internet. So, I wanted to automate it so that when they're out of the office it automatically switches over then when they're in the office it switches back without them having to do anything.

Radimus Radimus Moderator Registered: 2000-01-06 Posts: 5187 Loc: Tampa, FL	In my environment can't do that. We have VPN users and ALL HTTP traffic MUST go through proxy... so they they can report on staff activity. In this case a network detection client (detect new connection), determine subnet, if subnet=work then set proxy else no proxy, loop) would do it. He could even add in a "run logon script" to it Most of the code is in a " Network (and wireless) disconnector " post I made a month or so ago _________________________ How to ask questions the smart way <-----------> Before you ask

Witto Witto MM club member Registered: 2004-09-29 Posts: 1828 Loc: Belgium	The script like in wpad.dat stays the same, but you deploy is as an "Automatic Configuration Script". The script file extension should be PAC file (not DAT like for the wpad server). Maybe you can work with a logon script and a logoff script. Maybe this can help: http://www.adminscripteditor.com/scriptlibrary/view.asp?id=377

Hello @ all I'm new at this forum and need your help because I don't come along with this code. I was searching exactly for an IE proxy solution like this because we need different 'proxy override' options for our inner office user and our field force user. My problem, it seams the ip address can not be checked because only the 'Else' function works. The script should check if the ip address is a 10.43.1.* address and then should write the 'proxy override' value in the registry. All our other ip addresses like 10.43.2., 10.43.3., 10.43.4.* and so on should get the 'Else' values. What's going wrong here? Thanks in advance for your help. Edited by PeckMan (2007-05-18 10:32 AM)

Actually you should start your own thread, explain your wishes/problem and include a link to this but it's too late for that now.

This should work.

Code:

Dim $SUBNET

$SUBNET = Left(@IPADDRESS0, 12)

If $SUBNET = " 10. 43.  1."
	$key = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings"
	WriteValue($key,"ProxyEnable","1","REG_DWORD")
	WriteValue($key,"ProxyServer","proxy:8080","REG_SZ")
	WriteValue($key,"ProxyOverride", "<local>", "REG_SZ")
Else
	$key = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings"
	WriteValue($key,"ProxyEnable","0","REG_DWORD")
EndIf

PeckMan PeckMan Fresh Scripter Registered: 2007-05-18 Posts: 8 Loc: Austria	Thank you very much, Mart. Your first solution already works perfectly. So only the 'Substr' function was the mistake. The tweaked code looks nice. I think, I'll use this code $\:\)$

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	You should also be aware of the fact that spaces are added to the IP address fields until the field is three character log so 192.168.1.1 will become 129.168. 1. 1 in kix. Also it could be @IPADDRESS1, @IPADDRESS2 or @IPADDRESS3 it all depends on your setup and how many IP addresses are added to the nic or how many nic’s are in the computer.
