RE: Trend Micro and Proxy Server



Hi Bill,

Thank you for posting in SBS newsgroup.

From the description, I understand that you are using the SBS Server with
ISA 2004 installed and the web Proxy settings will be set to point to the
SBS Server. If I have misunderstood your concerns, please do not hesitate
to let me know.

Based on my knowledge, in SBS 2003 environment, there could be several
methods to push the proxy setting to the client computers. For example, we
always use ''Connect computers'' program to automatically configure the
client computers. After the connect computers procedure, the proxy setting
will be found in the IE options.

The problem may also occur if the entry in the Install.ins is not accurate.
Actually in SBS 2003, we have a place to specify the Web Proxy settings. A
file named Install.ins can be located at SBS's \\localhost\clients\Setup.
It contains the configuration settings for Internet Explorer on the client.
At setup time, this file is configured so that the server name is passed in
to the %sbsserver% variable in the original Install.ins template file. In
addition, this file is customized so that the enumerated links are based on
the selection of a server side component. The settings will be retrieved
when the client computer logs on with the login script running.

HTTP_Proxy_Server=http://%sbsserver%:8080 HTTP proxy address
FTP_Proxy_Server=http://%sbsserver%:8080 FTP proxy address
Gopher_Proxy_Server=http://%sbsserver%:8080 Gopher proxy address
Secure_Proxy_Server=http://%sbsserver%:8080 Secure proxy address
Use_Same_Proxy=1 Use the same proxy server for all protocols
Proxy_Enable=1 Enable proxy server
Proxy_Override=<local> Bypass proxy server for local addresses
AutoDetect=0 LAN Settings: Automatically detect settings

To eliminate the proxy settings for your client computers, you can make the
"[Proxy]" section like the following:

HTTP_Proxy_Server=
FTP_Proxy_Server=
Gopher_Proxy_Server=
Secure_Proxy_Server=
Use_Same_Proxy=0
Proxy_Enable=0
Proxy_Override=0
AutoDetect=0 0

Then the clients will not get the IE settings.

This is the SBS 2003 feature however we also have another place to specify
IE proxy settings - Group Policy. Therefore if the issue still occurs I
suggest you check if you have specified IE proxy settings in a Group Policy
Object. To do so:

1. Click Start->Run, type mmc and click OK.
2. Click Console->Add/Remove Snap-in.
3. Click Add, select "Group Policy" and click Add.
4. Click Browse, select "Default Domain Policy" and click OK.
5. Click Finish. Click Close and click OK.
6. Expand to User Configuration\Windows Settings\Internet Explorer
Maintenance\Connection, double click the "Proxy Settings" policy and make
sure it is not configured.
7. You can use the same steps to check other Group Policy objects.

Please refer to the following article for more information:

325342 HOW TO: Use Group Policy to Configure Advanced Settings for Internet
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=325342

Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any further concerns.

I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Crina Li (MSFT)

| particular SBS 2003 SP1 Premium with ISA 2004. It is not enough to make
an

settings
