Removing IE Proxy Settings
So, now we have gone full circle! There is now a need to remove the proxy settings from one of those VPN connections described in the last post.
For the machines that are supported within my group, the settings should be consistent, but there is the possibility that extra settings have been added by the user. So, I did a little discovery first:
The resultant file shows mostly what I’m expecting to see, with a few other things like Vodafone dongles, user defined connections etc.
Removal can be easily carried out by trimming the setting script (from the last post) to no longer publish the one to be removed, then use a GPP item to remove the key relating to the VPN proxy settings, to be removed.
For those other groups, within the organisation, who do not have such consistency; the results of the script can be analysed in Excel to see what is “out there”. Then another (not yet written script – because I don’t think I’ll need it) can be used to find those binary values which match those that are to be removed and then subsequently remove them.
I like scripting…. 😉
