Enable Proxy on WinPE?


Jazkal

Recommended Posts

Anyone know how to enable proxy in WinPE 3.x?

I've tried to run through the same steps that I have to do under Win2k8 R2, but netsh.exe under WinPE is a different version that doesn't support winhttp settings.

Anyone else had to deal with proxy under WinPE?

netsh file in pe is the same however i stumbled on a few reg keys for netsh that allow you to add functions. I copied all dlls referenced from my local win7 registry at

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Temp\Microsoft\NetSh

along with the keys themselves to the winpe image by loading the SOFTWARE hive from the mounted wim image windows\system32\config directory to HKLM\Temp.

There were a few helper dlls it couldn't load so i took them back out.

DOT3CFG.DLL
NETTRACE.DLL
WCNNETSH.DLL
P2PNETSH.DLL
WLANCFG.DLL
WWANCFG.DLL
DHCPMON.DLL

I was left with this

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Temp\Microsoft\NetSh]
"nshwfp"="nshwfp.dll"
"dhcpclient"="dhcpcmonitor.dll"
"wshelper"="wshelper.dll"
"4"="rasmontr.dll"
"2"="ifmon.dll"
"netiohlp"="netiohlp.dll"
"nshhttp"="nshhttp.dll"
"fwcfg"="fwcfg.dll"
"authfwcfg"="authfwcfg.dll"
"whhelper"="whhelper.dll"
"hnetmon"="hnetmon.dll"
"rpc"="rpcnsh.dll"
"napmontr"="napmontr.dll"
"nshipsec"="nshipsec.dll"
"peerdistsh"="peerdistsh.dll"

I now have winhttp command in netsh.

Also I ended up just hard coding my proxy config from local registry into winpe registry. The key is at

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections\WinHttpSettings

Just copy it to HKLM\Temp (or wherever you loaded WinPE SOFTWARE hive).

I'm testing the final product now.
