Update HTTP Proxy based on IP Address
Hey all,
I often have to work at client sites and each client has different http proxies that must be used in order to get to the outside world. I'd like to set-up a scheduled task that upon obtaining a dhcp lease would configure the HTTP proxies accordingly.
I think I know how to script the proxy configuration (
set-itemproperty 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings' -name ProxyEnable -value 1
But I don't know how to set-up the trigger or how to evaluate the domain so I can set the proxy appropriately.
Any advice?

You can probably accomplish this by creating a "login script" because your computer will already have the IP address before you actually log on. Creating a login script is easy to do via Local Policy.
Click Start, RUN, gpedit.msc
User Configuration --> Windows Settings --> Scripts --> Logon
create a VB script, Batch file, or any other executable to run whatever commands necessary to set the proxy settings.
