Check and Set the System Account Proxy settings

Back to Windows Server 2003/2008/20012

The proxy setting on the browser, only controls the behavior of the browser itself. Some applications can read this setting and share the same configuration, for instance, Chrome and Java. If you need to set the proxy for the local machine account (even without any user logged in), you must change the system account proxy using the commands below.

To check the status of System Account proxy settings use:

netsh winhttp show proxy 

To make a service to follow the Proxy settings according to IE settings use:

netsh winhttp import proxy source=ie
