Hey all,
I have been searching all over and I can not find an answer. I am trying to something that should be simple, but is proving to be anything but. I have a server 2016 box that I need to configure the automatic proxy setup, I enable the "Use Setup Script" and add the address to the WPAD.DAT file and click save, but nothing happens. There are no GPO's that are effecting it, I have checked the registry to make sure that it not disabled, but for the life of me I don't know what I am missing. Any thoughts?

    So I got this figured out, I had to do it through Powershell
    set-itemproperty 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings' -name AutoConfigURL -value 'HTTP://SERVERNAME.DOMAIN.COM/TLSProxy/wpad.dat' When this was run it would populate the Automatic configuration information.
