+title: Add and approve ActiveX controls using IEAK 11 (Internet Explorer Administration Kit 11 for IT Pros)
+---
+
+# Add and approve ActiveX controls using IEAK 11
+There are two main approaches to how you can control the use of ActiveX controls in your company. For more info about ActiveX controls, including how to manage the controls using Group Policy, see [Group Policy and ActiveX installation](../ie11-deploy-guide/activex-installation-using-group-policy.md) in the [Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) - Deployment Guide for IT Pros](../ie11-deploy-guide/index.md).
+
+**Note**<br>
+ActiveX controls are supported in Internet Explorer for the desktop for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. They are not supported on the immersive version of Internet Explorer for Windows 8.1.
+
+## Scenario 1: Limited Internet-only use of ActiveX controls
+While you might not care about your employees using ActiveX controls while on your intranet sites, you probably do want to limit ActiveX usage while your employee is on the Internet. By specifying and pre-approving a set of generic controls for use on the Internet, you’re able to let your employees use the Internet, but you can still limit your company’s exposure to potentially hazardous, non-approved ActiveX controls.
+
+For example, your employees need to access an important Internet site, such as for a business partner or service provider, but there are ActiveX controls on their page. To make sure the site is accessible and functions the way it should, you can visit the site to review the controls, adding them as new entries to your `<system_drive>\Windows\Downloaded Program Files` folder. Then, as part of your browser package, you can enable and approve these ActiveX controls to run on this specific site; while all additional controls are blocked.
+
+![](images/wedge.gif) **To add and approve ActiveX controls**
+
+1.  In IE, click **Tools**, and then **Internet Options**.
+
+2.  On the **Security** tab, click the zone that needs to change, and click **Custom Level**.
+
+3.  Go to **Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins**, and then click **Administrator approved**.
+
+4.  Repeat the last two steps until you have configured all the zones you want.
+
+5.  When you run the IEAK 11 Customization Wizard to create a custom package, you'll use the [Additional Settings](additional-settings-ieak11-wizard.md) page, clicking each folder to expand its contents. Then select the check boxes for the controls you want to approve.
+
+## Scenario 2: Restricted use of ActiveX controls
+You can get a higher degree of management over ActiveX controls by listing each of them out and then allowing the browser to use only that set of controls. The biggest challenge to using this method is the extra effort you need to put into figuring out all of the controls, and then actually listing them out. Because of that, we only recommend this approach if your complete set of controls is relatively small.
+
+After you decide which controls you want to allow, you can specify them as approved by zone, using the process described in the first scenario.

+# Set up auto detection for DHCP or DNS servers using IEAK 11
+Set up your network to automatically detect and customize Internet Explorer 11 when it’s first started. Automatic detection is supported on both Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS), letting your servers detect and set up your employee’s browser settings from a central location, using a configuration URL (.ins file) or a JavaScript proxy configuration file (.js, .jvs, or .pac).
+
+Before you can set up your environment to use automatic detection, you need to turn the feature on.
+
+![](images/wedge.gif) **To turn on the automatic detection feature**
+
+-   Open Internet Explorer Administration Kit 11 (IEAK 11), run the IE Customization Wizard 11 and on the **Automatic Configuration** page, check **Automatically detect configuration settings**. For more information, see [Use the Automatic Configuration page in the IEAK 11 Wizard](auto-config-ieak11-wizard.md).
+
+## Automatic detection on DHCP and DNS servers
+Automatic detection works even if the browser wasn't originally set up or installed by the administrator.
+
+-   **Using DHCP servers:** For local area network (LAN)-based users. This server type lets you specify your global and subnet TCP/IP parameters centrally, defining your users' parameters by using reserved addresses. By doing it this way, a computer can move between subnets, automatically reconfiguring for TCP/IP when it starts.
+<p>**Note**<br>
+Your DHCP servers must support the DHCPINFORM message, to obtain the DHCP options.    
+
+-   **Using DNS servers:** For users on dial-up connections. This server type uses a set of protocols and services on a TCP/IP network, which lets users search for other computers by using hierarchical, user-friendly names (hosts), instead of numeric IP addresses. To use this, you have to set up either the host record or the CNAME alias record in the DNS database file.
+<p>**Note**<br>
+DHCP has a higher priority than DNS for automatic configuration. If DHCP provides the URL to a .pac, .jvs, .js, or .ins configuration file, the process stops and the DNS lookup doesn't happen.
+
+![](images/wedge.gif) **To set up automatic detection for DHCP servers**
+
+-   Open the [DHCP Administrative Tool](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=302212), create a new option type, using the code number 252, and then associate it with the URL to your configuration file. For detailed instructions about how to do this, see [Create an option 252 entry in DHCP](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=294649).
+<p>**Examples:**<br>
+http://www.microsoft.com/webproxy.pac<br>
+http://marketing/config.ins<br>
+http://123.4.567.8/account.pac<p>
+For more detailed info about how to set up your DHCP server, see your server documentation.
+
+![](images/wedge.gif) **To set up automatic detection for DNS servers**
+
+1.  In your DNS database file, the file that’s used to associate your host (computer) names to static IP addresses in a zone, you need to create a host record named, **WPAD**. This record contains entries for all of the hosts that require static mappings, such as workstations, name servers, and mail servers. It also has the IP address to the web server storing your automatic configuration (.js, .jvs, .pac, or .ins) file.<p>The syntax is:<br>
+`<host_name> IN A <host_ip_address>`<br>
+`corserv IN A 192.55.200.143`<br>
+`nameserver2 IN A 192.55.200.2`<br>
+`mailserver1 IN A 192.55.200.51`
+<p>**-OR-**<p>
+Create a canonical name (CNAME) alias record, named **WPAD**. This record lets you use more than one name to point to a single host, letting you host both an FTP server and a web server on the same computer. It also includes the resolved name (not the IP address) of the server storing your automatic configuration (.pac) file.<p>
+**Note**<br>For more info about creating a **WPAD** entry, see [Creating a WPAD entry in DNS](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=294651). 
+
+2.  After the database file propagates to the server, the DNS name, `wpad.<domain>.com` resolves to the server name that includes your automatic configuration file.
+
+**Note**<br>
+IE11 creates a default URL template based on the host name,**wpad**. For example, `http://wpad.<domain>.com/wpad.dat`. Because of this, you need to set up a file or redirection point in your web server **WPAD** record, named **wpad.dat**. The **wpad.dat** record delivers the contents of your automatic configuration file.

+
+# Use the Browser User Interface page in the IEAK 11 Wizard
+The **Browser User Interface** page of the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11 lets you change the toolbar buttons and the title bar text in IE.
+
+**Note**<br>The customizations you make on this page apply only to Internet Explorer for the desktop.
+
+ ![](images/wedge.gif) **To use the Browser User Interface page**
+
+1.  Check the **Customize Title Bars** box so you can add your custom text to the **Title Bar Text** box.<p>
+The text shows up in the title bar as **IE provided by** &lt;*your_custom_text*&gt;.
+
+2.  Check the **Delete existing toolbar buttons, if present** box so you can delete all of the toolbar buttons in your employee’s browser, except for the standard buttons installed with IE (which can’t be removed).
+
+**Note**<br>Only Administrators can use this option.
+
+3.  Click **Add** to add new toolbar buttons.<p>
+The **Browser Toolbar Button Information** box appears.
+
+4.  In the **Toolbar caption** box, type the text that shows up when an employee hovers over your custom button. We recommend no more than 10 characters.
+
+5.  In the **Toolbar action** box, browse to your script or executable file that runs when an employee clicks your custom button.
+
+6.  In the **Toolbar icon** box, browse to the icon file that represents your button while active. This icon must be 20x20 pixels.
+
+7.  Check the **This button should be shown on the toolbar by default** box so your custom button shows by default.<p>
+This box should be cleared if you want to offer a custom set of buttons, but want your employees to choose whether or not to use them. In this situation, your buttons will show up in the **Customize Toolbars** dialog box, under **Available toolbar buttons**. Your employees can get to this dialog box in IE by clicking **Tools** from the **Command Bar**, clicking **Toolbars**, and then clicking **Customize**.
+
+8.  Click **OK.**
+
+9.  Click **Edit** to change your custom toolbar button or **Remove** to delete the button. The removed button will disappear from your employee’s computer after you apply the updated customization. Only custom toolbar buttons can be removed.
+
+10. Click **Next** to go to the [Search Providers](search-providers-ieak11-wizard.md) page or **Back** to go to the [User Experience](user-experience-ieak11-wizard.md) page.

+# Use the Browsing Options page in the IEAK 11 Wizard
+The **Browsing Options** page of the Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK 11) Customization Wizard lets you decide how you want to manage items in the **Favorites, Favorites Bar, and Feeds** section, including the Microsoft-provided default items.
+
+The choices that you make on this page affect only the items shown on the **Favorites, Favorites Bar, and Feeds** page.
+
+![](images/wedge.gif) **To use the Browsing Options page**
+
+1.  Decide how you want to manage links that are already installed on your employee’s computer:
+
+    -   **Delete all existing items under Favorites, Favorites Bar and Feeds.** Removes all of the links, Web Slices, feeds, and Accelerators on the computer. This includes links and favorites added by you or the employee. Because this removes everything, we recommend that you use this option with caution.
+
+    -   **Only delete the items created by the administrator.** Removes only the items that you added for your employees on the **Favorites, Favorites Bar and Feeds** page.
+
+    -   **Don’t delete any items.** Doesn’t remove anything. Links Web Slices, feeds, and Accelerators are added to your employee computers at the top of the list, in the order you picked on the **Favorites, Favorites Bar and Feeds** page.
+
+2.  Decide if you don’t want to add the Microsoft-default items:
+
+    -   **Favorites.** Checking this box won’t add the Microsoft-defined links.
+
+    -   **Web Slices and Links.** Checking this box won’t add the Microsoft-defined Web Slices or links.
+
+    -   **Feeds.** Checking this box won’t add the Microsoft-defined RSS feeds.
+
+    -   **Accelerators.** Checking this box won’t add the Microsoft-defined Accelerators.
+
+3.  Click **Next** to go to the [First Run Wizard and Welcome Page Options](first-run-and-welcome-page-ieak11-wizard.md) page or **Back** to go to the [Favorites, Favorites Bar, and Feeds](favorites-favoritesbar-and-feeds-ieak11-wizard.md) page.

+You'll need to create multiple versions of your custom browser package if:
+
+-   You support more than 1 version of the Windows operating system.
+
+-   You support more than 1 language.
+
+-   You have custom installation packages with only minor differences. For example, having a different phone number or a different set of URLs in the **Favorites** folder.
+
+The Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11 stores your original settings in the Install.ins file and will show them each time you re-open the wizard. For more info about .ins files, see [Using Internet Settings (.INS) files with IEAK 11](using-internet-settings-ins-files.md).
+
+![](images/wedge.gif) **To create multiple versions of your browser package**
+
+1.  Use the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11 to create a custom browser package. For more info about how to run the wizard, start with the [Use the File Locations page in the IEAK 11 Wizard](file-locations-ieak11-wizard.md) topic.
+
+2.  Go to the Cie\Custom folder and rename the Install.ins file to a name that reflects the version. Like, if you need a version for your employees in Texas, you could name the file Texas.ins.
+
+3.  Run the wizard again, choosing the newly renamed folder as the destination directory for your output files.<p>
+**Important**<br>Except for the **Title bar** text, **Favorites**, **Links bar**, **Home** page, and **Search bar**, we recommend that you keep all of your wizard settings the same for all of your build computers.
+
+4.  Repeat this process until you’ve created a package for each version of your custom installation package.

+# Use uninstallation .INF files to uninstall custom components
+The Internet Explorer Administration Kit 11 (IEAK 11) uses Setup information (.inf) files to provide installation instructions for your custom browser packages. You can also use this file to uninstall your custom components by removing the files, registry entries, and shortcuts, and adding your custom component to the list of programs that can be uninstalled from **Uninstall or change a program**.
+
+![](images/wedge.gif) **To uninstall your custom components**
+
+1.  Open the Registry Editor and add a new key and value to:<br>`HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\app-name,"DisplayName",,"description"`<p>
+Where *description* is the string that’s shown in the **Uninstall or change a program** box.
+
+2.  Add another new key and value to:<br>`HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\app-name,"UninstallString”",,"command-line"`<p>
+Where *command-line* is the command that’s run when the component is picked from the **Uninstall or change a program** box.
+
+Your uninstall script must also remove your key from under the **Uninstall** registry key, so that your component no longer appears in the **Uninstall or change a program** after uninstallation. You can also run just a section of an .inf file by using the Setupx.dll InstallHinfSection entry point. To make this work, your installation script must copy the .inf file to the Windows\Inf folder for your custom component.

+
+# Use the Custom Components page in the IEAK 11 Wizard
+The **Custom Components** page of the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11 lets you add up to 10 additional components that your employees can install at the same time they install IE. These components can be created by Microsoft or your organization as either compressed cabinet (.cab) or self-extracting executable (.exe) files. If you’re using Microsoft components, make sure you have the latest version and software patches from the [Microsoft Support](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=258658) site. To include Microsoft Update components, you must bundle the associated files into a custom component.
+
+**Important**<br>You should sign any custom code that’s being downloaded over the Internet. The default settings of Internet Explorer 11 will automatically reject any unsigned code. For more info about digitally signing custom components, see [Security features and IEAK 11](security-and-ieak11.md).
+
+![](images/wedge.gif) **To use the Custom Component page**
+
+1.  Click **Add**.<p>
+The **Add a Custom Component** box appears.
+
+2.  Type in the name of your component and then browse to the location of your file (either .cab or .exe).
+
+3.  Pick when to install the component. This can be before IE, after IE, or after the computer restarts.<p>
+**Important**<br>You should install your component before IE if you need to run a batch file to configure your employee settings. You should install your component after IE if you plan to install software updates. 
+
+4.  Check the **Only install if IE is installed successfully** box if your component should only install if IE installs successfully. For example, if you’re installing a security update that requires IE.
+
+5.  If your component is a .cab file, you must provide the extraction command into the **Command** box.
+
+6.  If your component has its own globally unique identifier (GUID), replace the value in the **GUID** box. Otherwise, keep the automatically generated GUID.
+
+7.  Describe your component using up to 511 characters in the **Description** box.
+
+8.  Type any command-line options that need to run while installing your component into the **Parameters** box. For example, if you want your component to install silently, without prompts. For more info about using options, see [IExpress command-line options](iexpress-command-line-options.md).
+
+9.  Type the value that Microsoft Update Setup uses to check that the component installed successfully into the **Uninstall Key** box. This check is done by comparing your value to the value in the `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ApplicationName` key.
+
+10. Type a numeric serial number for your component into the **Version** box, using this format: *xxxx*, *xxxxxx*, *xxxx*, *xxxx*.
+
+11. Click **Add**.<p>
+The boxes clear and you can add another component. Click **Cancel** to go back to the **Custom Components** page.
+
+12. Click **Edit** to change your custom component information, **Verify** to make sure the component is digitally signed, or **Remove** to delete the component from your custom installation package.
+
+13. Click **Next** to go to the [Internal Install](internal-install-ieak11-wizard.md) page or **Back** to go to the [Automatic Version Synchronization](auto-version-sync-ieak11-wizard.md) page.

+title: Customize Automatic Search using IEAK 11 (Internet Explorer Administration Kit 11 for IT Pros)
+---
+
+# Customize Automatic Search for Internet Explorer using IEAK 11
+Internet Explorer lets websites advertise any search provider that uses the open search standard described at the A9 website ( [OpenSearch 1.1 Draft 5](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=208582)). When IE detects new search providers, the **Search** box becomes active and adds the new providers to the drop-down list of providers.
+
+Using the **Administrative Templates** section of Group Policy, you can prevent the search box from appearing, you can add a list of acceptable search providers, or you can restrict your employee’s ability to add or remove search providers.
+
+## Automatic Search Configuration
+You can customize Automatic Search so that your employees can type a single word into the **Address** box to search for frequently used pages. For example, you can let a commonly used webpage about invoices appear if an employee types *invoice* into the **Address** box, even if the URL doesn’t include the term. If a website can’t be associated with the term, or if there are multiple matches, a webpage appears showing the top search results.
+
+![](images/wedge.gif) **To set up Automatic Search**
+
+1.  Create a script (.asp) file that conditionally looks for search terms, and post it to an intranet server here: http://ieautosearch/response.asp?MT=%1&srch=%2.<p>
+For info about the acceptable values for the *%1* and *%2* parameters, see the [Automatic Search parameters](#automatic-search-parameters). For an example of the script file, see the [Sample Automatic Search script](#sample-automatic-search-script).<p>
+**Important**<br>If you aren’t using IIS in your company, you’ll need to remap this URL to your script file’s location. 
+
+2.  On the **Additional Settings** page of the IEAK 11, click **Internet Settings**, and then click **Advanced Settings**.
+
+3.  Go to the section labeled **Searching** and type *intranet* into the **Search Provider Keyword** box.
+
+![](images/wedge.gif) **To redirect to a different site than the one provided by the search results**
+
+-   In the **Advanced Settings** section, go to the section labeled **Searching** and change the **When searching from the address bar** setting to **Just go to the most likely site**.
+
+![](images/wedge.gif) **To disable Automatic Search**
+
+-   In the **Advanced Settings** section, go to the section labeled **Searching** and change the **When searching from the address bar** setting to **Do not search from the address bar**.
+
+### Automatic Search parameters
+You must replace the Automatic Search script file parameters, *%1* and *%2* so they’re part of the actual URL.
+
+|Parameter |Value                                                   |
+|----------|--------------------------------------------------------|
+|1% |The text string typed by an employee into the **Address** bar. |
+|2% |The type of search chosen by an employee. This can include:<ul><li>**3.** Display the results and go to the most likely site.</li><li>**2.** Go to the most likely site.</li><li>**1.** Display the results in the main window.</li><li>**0.** Don't search from the **Address** box.</li></ul> |
+
+### Sample Automatic Search script
+This is a VBScript-based sample of an .asp Automatic Search script.
+
+```
+<%@ Language=VBScript %>
+<%
+' search holds the words typed in the Address bar
+' by the user, without the "go" or
+' "find" or any delimiters like
+' "+" for spaces.
+' If the user typed
+' "Apple pie," search = "Apple pie."
+' If the user typed
+' "find Apple pie," search = "Apple pie."
+
+search = Request.QueryString("MT")
+search = UCase(search)
+searchOption = Request.QueryString("srch")
+
+' This is a simple if/then/else
+' to redirect the browser to the site
+' of your choice based on what the
+' user typed.
+' Example: expense report is an intranet page
+' about filling out an expense report
+
+if (search = "NEW HIRE") then

+elseif (search = "EXPENSE REPORT") then
+Response.Redirect("http://expense")
+elseif (search = "LUNCH MENU") then
+Response.Redirect("http://cafe/menu/")
+else
+
+' If there is not a match, use the

+Response.Redirect("http://auto.search.msn.com/response.asp?MT="

+---
+
+# Use the File Locations page in the IEAK 11 Wizard
+The **File Locations** page of the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11 lets you change the location of your folders, including:
+
+-   Where you’ll create and store your custom installation package.
+
+-   Where you’ll download and store Internet Explorer 11.
+
+**Important**<br>
+You can create a custom installation package on your hard drive and move it to an Internet or intranet server, or you can create it directly on a server. If you create the package on a web server that’s running from your hard drive, use the path to the web server as the destination folder location. Whatever location you choose, it must be protected by appropriate access control lists (ACLs). If the location is not protected, the custom package may be tampered with.
+
+![](images/wedge.gif) **To use the File Locations page**
+
+1.  Browse to the location where you’ll store your finished custom IE installation package and the related subfolders.<p>
+**Note**<br>Subfolders are created for each language version, based on operating system and media type. For example, if your destination folder is `C:\Inetpub\Wwwroot\Cie\Dist`, then the English-language version is created as `C:\Inetpub\Wwwroot\Cie\Dist\Flat\Win32\En` subfolders.
+
+2.  Click **Advanced Options**.<p>
+The **Advanced Options** box opens and lets you change how the wizard downloads and gets files, and how it imports settings from your .ins file.
+
+3.  Check the box letting IE Customization Wizard 11 look for the latest components, using Automatic Version Synchronization.<p>
+This option lets the wizard connect to the IE **Downloads** page to look for updated versions of IE since you last ran the wizard.<p>
+**Important**<br>
+You must run Automatic Version Synchronization at least once to check for updated components.
+
+4.  Browse to your .ins file location, and then click **Open**.<p>
+By importing settings from an .ins file, you can re-use existing configurations. This saves you time if your packages have the same or similar settings.
+
+5.  Browse to your component download folder.<p>
+Automatic Version Synchronization automatically checks the component download folder to see if you have the latest version of IE. To keep this folder up-to-date, you shouldn’t change its location. However, if you want to keep both a previous version of IE and the latest version, we recommend you download the components to a different location.
+
+6.  Click **OK** to close the **Advanced Options** box, and then click **Next** to go to the [Platform Selection](platform-selection-ieak11-wizard.md) page.

+The **First Run Wizard and Welcome Page Options** page of the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11 lets you decide what your employee’s see the first time they log on to IE, based on their operating system.
+
+-   **Windows 8.1 Update and newer.** No longer includes a **Welcome** page, so if you pick the **Use Internet Explorer 11 Welcome Page** or the **Use a custom Welcome page** option, IEAK creates an initial **Home** page that loads before all other **Home** pages, as the first tab. This only applies to the Internet Explorer for the desktop.
+
+-   **Windows 7 SP1.** You can disable the first run page for Windows 7 SP1 and then pick a custom **Welcome** page to show instead. If you don’t customize the settings on this page, your employees will see the default IE **Welcome** page.
+
+![](images/wedge.gif) **To use the First Run Wizard and Welcome Page Options page**
+
+1.  Check the **Use IE11 First Run wizard (recommended)** box to use the default First Run wizard in IE.<p>
+Clearing this box lets you use the IE11 **Welcome** page or your custom **Welcome** page.
+
+2.  If you cleared the First Run wizard box, you can decide which **Welcome** page to use:
+
+    -   **Use IE11 Welcome Page.** Check this box if you want to use the default IE11 **Welcome** page.

+
+# Hardware and software requirements for Internet Explorer 11 and the IEAK 11
+Before you can use the Internet Explorer Administration Kit 11 and the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11, you must first install Internet Explorer 11. For more info about installing IE11, see the [Determine the licensing version and features to use in IEAK 11](licensing-version-and-features-ieak11.md) page.
+
+## Hardware requirements
+Before you start the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11, you must check to see how much disk space you have on the drive you're going to use to build the IE11 install package. This drive can be on the same device as the one running the wizard; it just needs to have a secure destination folder.
+
+Before you start to create your install package, you must meet all of the [Internet Explorer 11 requirements](../ie11-deploy-guide/system-requirements-and-language-support-for-ie11.md), plus:
+
+-   Up to 100 megabytes (MB) of disk space, depending on how many components you include in the installation package.
+
+-   An additional 100 MB of disk space for each custom installation package built. Different media types are considered separate packages.
+
+## Software requirements
+The device you're going to use to build your install packages must be running Internet Explorer 11, on one of these operating systems:
+
+- Windows 10<p>However, you must use the Windows 8.1 target platform and only the "Configuration-only package" is available.
+
+- Windows 8.1
+
+- Windows Server 2012 R2
+
+- Windows® 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
+
+- Windows Server 2008 R2 (SP1)
+
+**Important**<br>
+The device you're going to use to run IEAK 11 must be running the same version of the operating system as the device where you'll build your install packages.

+
+# IExpress Wizard for Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1
+Use the IExpress Wizard and its associated command-line options to create self-extracting files that automatically run your custom Internet Explorer Setup (.inf or .exe file) program that’s contained inside.
+
+## IExpress Wizard location
+The IExpress Wizard (Iexpress.exe) is included as part of Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 (SP1), in the `<system_drive>:\Windows\System32` folder. The wizard uses a self-extraction directive (.sed) file to store your package’s information. When you run the wizard, you have the option to start with an existing .sed file or to create a new one.
+
+## IExpress Wizard features
+The IExpress Wizard:
+
+-   Performs silent, unattended installations of your custom IE packages.
+
+-   Supports upgrading IE without removing previous installations.
+
+-   Supports repeated updating or performing clean installations of the same IE build.
+
+## IExpress Wizard settings
+The IExpress Wizard lets you:
+
+-   Decide whether the self-installing package is for administrators or for general employees.
+
+-   Set multiple ways to run the installation command, such as in normal or silent mode.
+
+-   Determine whether the IExpress dynamic-link libraries (.dll files) are updated on an employee’s computer.
+
+-   Determine the compatibility of the installation package, based on the operating system version range, the browser version range, or any application version range.
+
+-   Update and add files to the IExpress package, using the UPDFILE tool, without having to rebuild the package.
+
+-   Replace Runonce with RunOnceEx (if the newer version of Iernonce.dll exists); giving you control over the job run order and status display.
+
+-   Let corporate administrators set up support for roaming employees.
+
+-   Let Internet Content Providers (ICPs) and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) generate packages for preconfigured desktops with custom, current content.
+
+-   Save disk space by cleaning up the hard drive when running in Setup, uninstallation, and maintenance modes.
+
+-   Provide support for multiple download sites.
+
+-   Provide support for internal and external development, customization, expandability, and enhanced debugging.
+
+-   Provide support for the extended character set, beyond single-byte characters (SBCS).
+
+-   Provide support for using the .inf file format to download Internet components. For more information, see [Use the uninstallation .INF files to uninstall custom components](create-uninstall-inf-files-for-custom-components.md).

+You can distribute this file on any media format or server. It customizes the IE11 features without re-installing IE.<p>

+- [Example 10: Connect using a proxy server based on specific days of the week](#example-10-connect-using-a-proxy-server-based-on-specific-days-of-the-week)
+
+
+## Example 1: Connect directly if the host is local
+In this example, if the host is local, it can connect directly. However, if the server isn't local, it must connect through a proxy server. Specifically, the `isPlainHostName` function looks to see if there are any periods (.) in the host name. If the function finds periods, it means the host isn’t local and it returns false. Otherwise, the function returns true.
+
+``` javascript
+function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
+ {
+ if (isPlainHostName(host))
+ return "DIRECT";
+ else
+ return "PROXY proxy:80";
+ }
+```
+## Example 2: Connect directly if the host is inside the firewall
+In this example, if the host is inside the firewall, it can connect directly. However, if the server is outside the firewall, it must connect through a proxy server. Specifically, the `localHostOrDomainIs` function only runs for URLs in the local domain. If the host domain name matches the provided domain information, the `dnsDomainIs` function returns true.
+
+``` javascript
+function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
+ {
+ if ((isPlainHostName(host) ||
+ dnsDomainIs(host, ".company.com")) &&
+ !localHostOrDomainIs(host, "www.company.com") &&
+ !localHostOrDoaminIs(host, "home.company.com"))
+ return "DIRECT";
+ else
+ return "PROXY proxy:80";
+}
+```
+## Example 3: Connect directly if the host name is resolvable
+In this example, if the host name can be resolved, it can connect directly. However, if the name can’t be resolved, the server must connect through a proxy server. Specifically, this function requests the DNS server to resolve the host name it's passed. If the name can be resolved, a direct connection is made. If it can't, the connection is made using a proxy. This is particularly useful when an internal DNS server is used to resolve all internal host names.
+
+**Important**<br>The `isResolvable` function queries a Domain Name System (DNS) server. References to Object Model objects, properties, or methods cause the proxy auto-configuration file to fail silently. For example, the references `window.open(...)`, `alert(...)`, and `password(...)` all cause the proxy auto-configuration file to fail.
+
+``` javascript
+function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
+ {
+ if (isResolvable(host))
+ return "DIRECT";
+ else
+ return "PROXY proxy:80";
+ }
+```
+
+## Example 4: Connect directly if the host is in specified subnet
+In this example, if the host is in a specified subnet, it can connect directly. However, if the server is outside of the specified subnet, it must connect through a proxy server. Specifically, the `isInNet` (host, pattern, mask) function returns true if the host IP address matches the specified pattern. The mask indicates which part of the IP address to match (255=match, 0=ignore).
+
+**Important**<br>The `isInNet` function queries a DNS server. References to Object Model objects, properties, or methods cause the proxy auto-configuration file to fail silently. For example, the references `window.open(...)`, `alert(...)`, and `password(...)` all cause the proxy auto-configuration file to fail.
+
+``` javascript
+function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
+ {
+ if (isInNet(host, "999.99.9.9", "255.0.255.0"))
+ return "DIRECT";
+ else
+ return "PROXY proxy:80";
+ }
+```
+## Example 5: Determine the connection type based on the host domain
+In this example, if the host is local, the server can connect directly. However, if the host isn’t local, this function determines which proxy to use based on the host domain. Specifically, the `shExpMatch(str, shexp)` function returns true if `str` matches the `shexp` using shell expression patterns. This is particularly useful when the host domain name is one of the criteria for proxy selection.
+
+``` javascript
+function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
+ {
+ if (isPlainHostName(host))
+ return "DIRECT";
+ else if (shExpMatch(host, "*.com"))
+ return "PROXY comproxy:80";
+ else if (shExpMatch(host, "*.edu"))
+ return "PROXY eduproxy:80";
+ else
+ return "PROXY proxy";
+ }
+```
+## Example 6: Determine the connection type based on the protocol
+In this example, the in-use protocol is extracted from the server and used to make a proxy selection. If no protocol match occurs, the server is directly connected. Specifically the `substring` function extracts the specified number of characters from a string. This is particularly useful when protocol is one of the criteria for proxy selection.
+
+``` javascript
+function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
+ {
+ if (url.substring(0, 5) == "http:") {
+ return "PROXY proxy:80";
+ }
+ else if (url.substring(0, 4) == "ftp:") {
+ return "PROXY fproxy:80";
+ }
+ else if (url.substring(0, 6) == "https:") {
+ return "PROXY secproxy:8080";
+ }
+ else {
+ return "DIRECT";
+      }
+ }
+```
+## Example 7: Determine the proxy server based on the host name matching the IP address
+In this example, the proxy server is selected by translating the host name into an IP address and then comparing the address to a specified string.
+
+**Important** <br>The `dnsResolve` function queries a DNS server. References to Object Model objects, properties, or methods cause the proxy auto-configuration file to fail silently. For example, the references `window.open(...)`, `alert(...)`, and `password(...)` all cause the proxy auto-configuration file to fail.
+
+``` javascript
+function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
+ {
+ if (dnsResolve(host) == "999.99.99.999") { // = http://secproxy
+ return "PROXY secproxy:8080";
+ }
+ else {
+ return "PROXY proxy:80";
+ }
+ }
+```
+## Example 8: Connect using a proxy server if the host IP address matches the specified IP address
+In this example, the proxy server is selected by explicitly getting the IP address and then comparing it to a specified string. If no protocol match occurs, the server makes a direct connection. Specifically, the `myIpAddress` function returns the IP address (in integer-period format) for the host that the browser is running on.
+
+``` javascript
+function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
+ {
+ if (myIpAddress() == "999.99.999.99") { 
+ return "PROXY proxy:80";
+ }
+ else {
+ return "DIRECT";
+ }
+ }
+```
+## Example 9: Connect using a proxy server if there are periods in the host name
+In this example, the function looks to see if there are periods (.) in the host name. If there are any periods, the connection occurs using a proxy server. If there are no periods, a direct connection occurs. Specifically, the `dnsDomainLevels` function returns an integer equal to the number of periods in the host name.
+
+**Note**<br>This is another way to determine connection types based on host name characteristics.
+
+``` javascript
+function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
+ {
+ if (dnsDomainLevels(host) > 0) { // if the number of periods in host > 0
+ return "PROXY proxy:80";
+ }
+ return "DIRECT";
+ }
+```
+## Example 10: Connect using a proxy server based on specific days of the week
+In this example, the function decides whether to connect to a proxy server, based on the days of the week. Connecting on days that don’t fall between the specified date parameters let the server make a direct connection. Specifically the `weekdayRange(day1 [,day2] [,GMT] )` function returns whether the current system time falls within the range specified by the parameters `day1`, `day2`, and `GMT`. Only the first parameter is required. The GMT parameter presumes time values are in Greenwich Mean Time rather than the local time zone. This function is particularly useful for situations where you want to use a proxy server for heavy traffic times, but allow a direct connection when traffic is light.
+
+``` javascript
+function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
+ {
+ if(weekdayRange("WED", "SAT", "GMT")) 
+ return "PROXY proxy:80";
+ else 
+ return "DIRECT";
+ }
+```

+The **Proxy Settings** page of the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11 lets you pick the proxy servers used by your employees to connect for services required by the custom install package.
+
+Using a proxy server lets you limit access to the Internet. You can also use the **Additional Settings** page of the wizard to further restrict your employees from changing the proxy settings.
+
+![](images/wedge.gif) **To use the Proxy Settings page**
+
+1.  Check the **Enable proxy settings** box if you want to use proxy servers for any of your services.
+
+2.  Type the address of the proxy server you want to use for your services into the **Address of proxy** box. In most cases, a single proxy server is used for all of your services.<p>
+Proxy locations that don’t begin with a protocol (like, http:// or ftp://) are assumed to be a CERN-type HTTP proxy. For example, the entry *proxy* is treated the same as the entry *http://proxy*.
+
+3.  Type the port for each service. The default value is *80*.
+
+4.  Check the **Use the same proxy server for all addresses** box to use the same proxy server settings for all of your services.
+
+5.  Type any services that shouldn’t use a proxy server into the **Do not use proxy server for addresses beginning with** box.<p>
+When filling out your exceptions, keep in mind:
+
+    -   Proxy bypass entries can begin with a protocol type, such as http://, https://, or ftp://. However, if a protocol type is used, the exception entry applies only to requests for that protocol.
+
+    -   Protocol values are not case sensitive and you can use a wildcard character (*) in place of zero or more characters.
+
+    -   You must use a semicolon between your entries.
+
+    -   This list is limited to **2064** characters.
+
+6.  Check the **Do not use proxy server for local (intranet) addresses** to bypass your proxy servers for all addresses on your intranet.

+
+# Security features and IEAK 11
+Use Internet Explorer in conjunction with your new and existing security measures, to make sure the computers in your company aren’t compromised while on the Internet.
+
+## Enhanced Protection Mode
+Extends Protected Mode to further restrict the ability of an attacker to access sensitive or personal information in personal and corporate environments, including:
+
+-   Restricting access to higher-level processes in the AppContainer.
+
+-   Improving security against memory safety exploits in 64-bit tab processes.
+
+This feature is turned off by default. For more info, see [Enhanced Protected Mode problems with Internet Explorer](../ie11-deploy-guide/enhanced-protected-mode-problems-with-ie11.md).
+
+## Certificates and Digital Signatures
+Web browsers have security features that help protect users from downloading harmful programs. Depending on the security level and the platform that you are using, the user may be prevented from, or warned against, downloading programs that are not digitally signed. Digital signatures show users where programs come from, verify that the programs have not been altered, and ensure that users do not receive unnecessary warnings when installing the custom browser.
+
+Because of this, the custom .cab files created by the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard should be signed, unless you pre-configure the Local intranet zone with a Low security setting. Any custom components you distribute with your browser package for these platforms should also be signed.
+
+### Understanding digital certificates
+To sign your package and custom programs digitally, you must first obtain a digital certificate. You can obtain a certificate from a certification authority or a privately-controlled certificate server. For more info about obtaining certificates or setting up a certificate server, see the following:
+
+-   Microsoft-trusted certification authorities ([Windows root certificate program requirements](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=759697)).
+
+-   Certificates overview documentation ([Certificates](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=759698)).
+
+-   Microsoft Active Directory Certificate Services ( [Active Directory Certificate Services](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=259521)).
+
+-   Enterprise public key infrastructure (PKI) snap-in documentation ([Enterprise PKI](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=259526)).
+
+After you get a certificate, you should note the public and private keys, which are a matched set of keys that are created by the software publisher for encryption and decryption. They are generated on your device at the time the certificate is requested, and your private key is never sent to the certification authority or any other party.
+
+### Understanding code signing
+Code signing varies, depening on how you plan to distribute your custom install package.
+
+-   **If you plan to distribute custom packages over the Internet**, you must sign all custom components and the CMAK profile package (if used). Before you start the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard, make sure that both are signed. Typically, their respective manufacturers will have signed them. Otherwise, you can sign these using the Sign Tool (SignTool.exe) ( [SignTool.exe (Sign Tool)](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=71298)) or use the File Signing Tool (Signcode.exe) ([Signcode.exe (File Signing Tool)](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=71299)). You should read the documentation included with these tools for more info about all of the signing options.<p>
+In addition, after you run the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard, we highly recommend that you sign the IEAK package and the branding.cab file (if you are using it separately from the package). You can do this also using the tools mentioned above. For more information, download Code-Signing Best Practices ([Code-Signing Best Practices](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=71300)).
+
+-   **If you plan to distribute your custom packages over an intranet**, sign the custom files or preconfigure the Local intranet zone with a Low security setting, because the default security setting does not allow users to download unsigned programs or code.
+
+### Understanding your private key
+Your device creates two keys during the enrollment process of your digital certificate. One is a public key, which is sent to anyone you want to communicate with, and one is a private key, which is stored on your local device and must be kept secret. You use the private key to encrypt your data and the corresponding public key to decrypt it.
+
+You must keep your private key, private. To do this, we recommend:
+
+-   **Separate test and release signing.** Set up a parallel code signing infrastructure, using test certificates created by an internal test root certificate authority. This helps to ensure that your certificates aren’t stored on an insecure build system, reducing the likelihood that they will be compromised.
+
+-   **Tamper-proof storage.** Save your private keys on secure, tamper-proof hardware devices.
+
+-   **Security.** Protect your private keys using physical security measures, such as cameras and card readers.

+
+# Troubleshoot custom package and IEAK 11 problems
+While the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard has been around for quite a while, there are still some known issues that you might encounter while deploying or managing your custom IE install package.
+
+## I can’t locate some of the wizard pages
+The most common reasons you won’t see certain pages is because:
+
+-   **Your licensing agreement with Microsoft.** Your licensing agreement determines whether you install the **Internal** or **External** version of the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard, and there are different features available for each version. For info about which features are available for each version, see [Determine the licensing version and features to use in IEAK 11](licensing-version-and-features-ieak11.md).
+
+-   **Your choice of operating system.** Depending on the operating system you picked from the **Platform Selection** page of the wizard, you might not see all of the pages. Some features aren’t available for all operating systems. For more information, see [Use the Platform Selection page in the IEAK 11 Wizard](platform-selection-ieak11-wizard.md).
+
+-   **Your choice of features.** Depending on what you selected from the **Feature Selection** page of the wizard, you might not see all of the pages. You need to make sure that the features you want to customize are all checked. For more information, see [Use the Feature Selection page in the IEAK 11 Wizard](feature-selection-ieak11-wizard.md).
+
+## Internet Explorer Setup fails on employee devices
+Various issues can cause problems during Setup, including missing files, trust issues, or URL monikers. You can troubleshoot these issues by reviewing the Setup log file, located at `IE11\_main.log` from the **Windows** folder (typically, `C:\Windows`). The log file covers the entire Setup process from the moment IE11Setup.exe starts until the last .cab file finishes, providing error codes that you can use to help determine the cause of the failure.
+
+### Main.log file codes
+
+|Code |Description |
+|-----|------------|
+|0 |Initializing, making a temporary folder, and checking disk space. |
+|1 |Checking for all dependencies. |
+|2 |Downloading files from the server. |
+|3 |Copying files from download location to the temporary installation folder. |
+|4 |Restarting download and retrying Setup, because of a time-out error or other download error. |
+|5 |Checking trust and checking permissions. |
+|6 |Extracting files. |
+|7 |Running Setup program (an .inf or .exe file). |
+|8 |Installation is finished. |
+|9 |Download finished, and all files are downloaded. |
+
+### Main.log error codes
+
+|Code |Description |
+|-----|------------|
+|80100003 |Files are missing from the download folder during installation. |
+|800bxxxx |An error code starting with 800b is a trust failure. |
+|800Cxxxx |An error code starting with 800C is a Urlmon.dll failure. |
+
+
+## Internet Explorer Setup connection times out
+Internet Explorer Setup can switch servers during the installation process to maintain maximum throughput or to recover from a non-responsive download site (you receive less than 1 byte in 2 minutes). If the connection times out, but Setup is able to connect to the next download site on the list, your download starts over. If however the connection times out and Setup can’t connect to a different server, it’ll ask if you want to stop the installation or try again.
+
+To address connection issues (for example, as a result of server problems) where Setup can’t locate another download site by default, we recommend you overwrite your first download server using this workaround:
+
+``` syntax
+<path>\ie11setup.exe /C:"ie11wzd.exe /S:""<path>\ie11setup.exe"" /L:""http://your_Web_server/your_Web_site/ie11sites.dat"""
+```
+
+Where `<path>` represents the folder location where you stored IE11setup.exe.
+
+## Employees can’t uninstall IE
+If you can’t uninstall IE using **Uninstall or change a program** in the Control Panel, it could be because the uninstall information isn’t on the computer. To fix this issue, you should:
+
+1.  Review the uninstall log file, IE11Uninst.log, located in the `C:\Windows` folder. This log file covers the entire uninstallation process, including every file change, every registry change, and any dialog boxes that are shown.
+
+2.  Try to manually uninstall IE. Go to the backup folder, `<system_drive>:\Windows\$ie11$`, and run the uninstall file, `Spunist.exe`.

+The **User Experience** page of the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11 lets you decide how much you want your employees to interact with the custom package’s Setup process.
+
+**Note**<br>You’ll only see this page if you are running the **Internal** version of the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11.<p>The customizations you make on this page only apply to Internet Explorer for the desktop on Windows 7.
+
+![](images/wedge.gif) **To use the User Experience page**
+
+1.  Choose how your employee should interact with Setup, including:
+
+    -   **Interactive installation**. Lets your employees change installation options while installing your custom package. This experience shows all of the progress and error messages throughout the process.
+
+    -   **Hands-free installation**. Lets you make all of the decisions for your employees. However, they’ll still see all of the progress and error messages throughout the process.
+
+    -   **Completely silent installation**. Lets you make all of the decisions for your employees and hides all of the progress and error messages. Because this mode is completely silent, if the installation fails, your employees won’t know and they won’t be able to run the installation package again.
+    <p>Both the hands-free and completely silent installation options will:
+    
+        - Answer prompts so Setup can continue.
+    
+        - Accept the license agreement.
+
+        - Determine that Internet Explorer 11 is installed and not just downloaded.
+
+        - Perform your specific installation type.
+
+        - Install IE in the default location, unless it is already installed. In that case, the new version of the browser is installed in the same location as the previous version.
+
+2.  Choose if your employee’s device will restart at the end of Setup.
+
+    -   **Default**. Prompts your employees to restart after installing IE.
+
+    -   **No restart**. Doesn’t restart the computer after installing IE. The employee will have to manually restart later.
+
+    -   **Force restart**. Automatically restarts the computer after installing IE.
+
+3.  Click **Next** to go to the [Browser User Interface](browser-ui-ieak11-wizard.md) page or **Back** to go to the [Internal Install](internal-install-ieak11-wizard.md) page.

+The **Wizard Complete – Next Steps** page of the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11 lets you build your custom installation package, after you click **Finish**.
+
+In most cases, your next steps will be to prepare your files for installation from your network or from another distribution method. If you haven’t already done it, you’ll need to digitally sign any program or .cab files that are going to be distributed over the Internet or over an intranet that isn’t configured to allow downloads.
+
