# Automatic Configuration: Internet Explorer Customization Wizard
|
||
|
||
|
||
The **Automatic Configuration** page of the Internet Explorer Customization Wizard 11 lets you provide URLs to the files that’ll automatically configure Internet Explorer 11 for a group of employees or computers.
|
||
|
||
This page only appears if you’re using the **Internal** version of the wizard.
|
||
|
||
You can set your proxy settings using Internet setting (.ins) files. You can also configure and maintain your advanced proxy settings using JScript (.js), JavaScript (.jvs), or proxy auto-configuration (.pac) script files. When you provide an auto-proxy script, IE dynamically determines whether to connect directly to a host or to use a proxy server.
|
||
|
||
You can use the Domain Name System (DNS) and the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) naming systems to detect and change a browser’s settings automatically when the employee first starts IE on the network. For more information, see the product documentation for your DNS and DHCP software packages. Also see [Set up automatic detection for DHCP or DNS servers using IEAK 11](set_up_automatic_detection_for_dhcp_or_dns_servers_using_ieak_11.md).
|
||
|
||
**To check the existing settings on your employee’s computers**
|
||
|
||
1. Open IE, click **Tools**, click **Internet Options**, and then click the **Connections** tab.
|
||
|
||
2. Click **LAN Settings** and make sure that the **Use automatic configuration script** box is selected, confirming the path and name of the file in the **Address** box.
|
||
|
||
**To use the Automatic Configuration page**
|
||
|
||
1. Check the **Automatically detect configuration settings** box to automatically detect browser settings.
|
||
|
||
2. Check the **Enable Automatic Configuration** box if you plan to automatically change your IE settings after deployment, using configuration files. You can then:
|
||
|
||
- Type the length of time (in minutes) for how often settings are to be applied in your company. Putting zero (**0**), or nothing, in this box will cause automatic configuration to only happen when the computer’s restarted.
|
||
|
||
- Type the location to your .ins file. You can edit this file directly to make any necessary changes.
|
||
|
||
The updates will take effect the next time your employee starts IE, or during your next scheduled update.
|
||
|
||
- Type the location to your automatic proxy script file.
|
||
|
||
**Note**
|
||
If you specify URLs for both auto-config and auto-proxy, the auto-proxy URL will be incorporated into the .ins file. The correct form for the URL is *http://share/test.ins*.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
3. Click **Next** to go to the [Proxy Settings: Internet Explorer Customization Wizard](proxy_settings_internet_explorer_customization_wizard.htm) page or **Back** to go to the [Connection Settings: Internet Explorer Customization Wizard](connection_settings_internet_explorer_customization_wizard.md) page.
