  • You didn't say how it isn't working.  First, try loading the HTTP Proxy CA into the client using the MMC Certificates Snap-In.  If that doesn't solve your issue, please attach a picture of the problem you observe.

    Cheers - Bob

  • Simple... the backend services on your PCs don't know how to access the proxy in standard mode.  For anything using the windows system settings for proxy, configure your proxy settings correctly in IE, then from an admin-level command shell, run:

    "netsh winhttp import proxy source=ie"

    If you want to set it back to "direct" mode, run this:
    "netsh winhttp reset proxy"

  • Hi Bob,
    after import https ca, i tried to Windows Updates i got error find the attached files.

    hi BrucekConvergent,

    kindly find the attached files, i put proxy settings correctly but i got the same error  after ruining both command  netsh winhttp import proxy source=ie
    netsh winhttp reset proxy.


    Thanks For Help Guys.
  • The answer is above:

    "netsh winhttp import proxy source=ie"


    Don't run BOTH commands... I merely offered the second one to illustrate how to set things back if setting it this way didn't work for you.

  • thank you all very much, i use the below command and works fine with me [;)]
    NETSH WINHTTP SET PROXY 1.1.1.1:8080

    thanks again ^_^
  • The other way to solve this, by the way, is to use the "Proxy Auto Configuration" under Filtering Options / Misc.  This will catch anything that is using "Automatically detect settings" which is the setting a lot of system-level stuff uses.
