.NAME
ProxySettings .DESCRIPTION The resource is used to configure internet proxy settings for a computer (`LocalMachine`) or a user account (`CurrentUser`). ## Target The `Target` parameter is used to specify whether to configure the proxy settings for the machine or for a specific user account. If the `Target` is set to `CurrentUser` then the proxy settings will be configured for the user account that the resource runs under. This is usually the account the DSC Local Configuration Manager runs under, which is `LocalSystem`. You can configure the proxy settings on a different user account by specifying the `PsDscRunAsCredential` in the resource configuration. See [this page](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/dsc/configurations/runasuser) for more information. .PARAMETER Target Key - String Allowed values: LocalMachine, CurrentUser Specifies if the proxy settings should be set for the LocalMachine or for the CurrentUser. Defaults to 'LocalMachine'. .PARAMETER Ensure Write - String Allowed values: Present, Absent Specifies if proxy settings should be set. Defaults to 'Present'. .PARAMETER ConnectionType Write - String Allowed values: All, Default, Legacy Defines if the proxy settings should be configured for default connections, legacy connections or all connections. Defaults to 'All'. .PARAMETER EnableAutoDetection Write - Boolean Enable automatic detection of the proxy settings. Defaults to 'False'. .PARAMETER EnableAutoConfiguration Write - Boolean Use automatic configuration script for specifying proxy settings. Defaults to 'False'. .PARAMETER EnableManualProxy Write - Boolean Use manual proxy server settings. Defaults to 'False'. .PARAMETER AutoConfigURL Write - String The URL of the automatic configuration script to specify the proxy settings. Should be specified if 'EnableAutoConfiguration' is 'True'. .PARAMETER ProxyServer Write - String The address and port of the manual proxy server to use. Should be specified if 'EnableManualProxy' is 'True'. .PARAMETER ProxyServerExceptions Write - StringArray Bypass proxy server for addresses starting with addresses in this list. .PARAMETER ProxyServerBypassLocal Write - Boolean Bypass proxy server for local addresses. Defaults to 'False'. .EXAMPLE 1 Sets the computer to automatically detect the proxy settings. Configuration ProxySettings_AutoDetectProxy_Config { Import-DSCResource -ModuleName NetworkingDsc Node localhost { ProxySettings AutoDetectProxy { Target = 'LocalMachine' Ensure = 'Present' EnableAutoDetection = $true EnableAutoConfiguration = $false EnableManualProxy = $false } } } .EXAMPLE 2 Sets the computer to use an automatic WPAD configuration script that will be downloaded from the URL 'http://wpad.contoso.com/wpad.dat'. Configuration ProxySettings_AutoConfigurationProxy_Config { Import-DSCResource -ModuleName NetworkingDsc Node localhost { ProxySettings AutoConfigurationProxy { Target = 'LocalMachine' Ensure = 'Present' EnableAutoDetection = $false EnableAutoConfiguration = $true EnableManualProxy = $false AutoConfigURL = 'http://wpad.contoso.com/wpad.dat' } } } .EXAMPLE 3 Sets the computer to use a manually configured proxy server with the address 'proxy.contoso.com' on port 8888. Traffic to addresses starting with 'web1' or 'web2' or any local addresses will not be sent to the proxy. Configuration ProxySettings_ManualProxy_Config { Import-DSCResource -ModuleName NetworkingDsc Node localhost { ProxySettings ManualProxy { Target = 'LocalMachine' Ensure = 'Present' EnableAutoDetection = $false EnableAutoConfiguration = $false EnableManualProxy = $true ProxyServer = 'proxy.contoso.com:8888' ProxyServerExceptions = 'web1', 'web2' ProxyServerBypassLocal = $true } } } .EXAMPLE 4 Sets a user account to use a manually configured proxy server with the address 'proxy.contoso.com' on port 8888. Traffic to addresses starting with 'web1' or 'web2' or any local addresses will not be sent to the proxy. The user account that the proxy settings are configured for will be the account that applies the resource. Configuration ProxySettings_ManualProxyForCurrentUser_Config { Import-DSCResource -ModuleName NetworkingDsc Node localhost { ProxySettings ManualProxy { Target = 'CurrentUser' Ensure = 'Present' EnableAutoDetection = $false EnableAutoConfiguration = $false EnableManualProxy = $true ProxyServer = 'proxy.contoso.com:8888' ProxyServerExceptions = 'web1', 'web2' ProxyServerBypassLocal = $true } } } |
