We're already configuring Internet Explorer proxy settings through group policy and it works great. Sadly, I've recently run into multiple issues where those settings are ignored by certain services.
I realized that these service have one thing in common. They use WinHTTP, which has its own proxy settings. Now I'm asking myself how to apply those across the whole domain.
I realize that I could create a logon script and simply run netsh winhttp import proxy source=ie
, but, from experience I know that these settings require a reboot to take effect. So this wouldn't help me at all in a logon script.
So, how can I do it?
