So now I want to dig in and actually do some configuring of internet settings using the preferences
feature.
So I'm going to go ahead, right click the Internet Settings node and select new.
And I'll go ahead and select the Internet Explorer ten, which, as I mentioned earlier, covers both
ten and 11.
And I think what I'll do, just as an example, is set proxy configurations, since this is a pretty
common task that folks need to do when configuring IEEE in corporate environments.
So if I go into launch settings, you'll notice that I have the option of selecting automatically detect
settings.
And that lets II detect its proxy configuration automatically.
And if I go ahead and click into this address field, what this is looking for is an automatic proxy
configuration script or PAC file.
So I can specify that here or down below, I can specify use a proxy server for your LUN and you'll
notice that these are red.
So what I'm going to do is go ahead and select F six to turn this green and give it a port and address
of my proxy server.
So we'll just call it proxy pride and we'll say that it's using Port 8080.
And I want to bypass the proxy server.
So I'm going to set this to Green as well and check it.
And if I go and under advanced, you'll see I have the option of selecting the HTTP protocol or I can
uncheck this box here and give it a different port number for each of the different protocols.
So for example, https or secure might be 80, 88, FTP might be 80, 85, etc..
And I can go ahead and click.
Okay, and close that out.
And now I set the proxy for this particular GPO.
Now, let's say I wanted to set the home page.
Again.
Note that the home page option is basically red.
So if I click F6 again, I can say set the homepage to my company dot com.
So maybe I have an internet site and I can go ahead and do that.
Now there might be other pages or I don't want to set any settings at all.
For example, on the advanced page.
I may not want any of these to be said in IEEE, and you'll notice that by default, when I created
this brand new GPO, there are a bunch of these options that are already configured, so I can go ahead
and click F7 to delete or to disable individual settings or F8 disables all of these settings so that
essentially the client will not or the user will not process any of these settings.
So it will leave the users, i.e. default settings as they are.
And that's kind of a nice feature of those function keys is it lets you quickly kind of go through an
either selectively on a single setting or across all settings within a tab.
You can quickly and easily define whether you want those settings enabled or not.
