Hello All!

I'm new to this site and kixtart but am really enjoying the power of kixtart and the resources from everyone.

I am a tech at a school, within a pretty big district. This summer we will be changing proxy servers. Our old one will remain operational for a time, so we can "manually" change the ip address on the clients.

And I disagree about manually doing it. Our Network Admin doesn't use kixtart, just batch files. So I hope if I figure out a way to change the settings through a .bat file, he would call it in the client logons and we wouldn't have to do it manually.

I have succesfully made a script to change the setting on a win98 box, but am having a bit of trouble on the nt machines. i am using a 2000 box here to test with full admin privs, just to see if i can change the setting. here is what i have so far,

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"ProxyServer"="0.0.0.0:0000"

I am calling the .reg file [above] from a .bat file which will be determining the OS type ex:

IF Windows_NT == %OS% GOTO WINNT
regedit /s proxychange.reg
GOTO END

:WINNT

...still have to figure out!!!

:END

Thanks for any input.

You don't have to be nice either. If I'm going to learn, might as well be the right way first!
