XpressConnect can detect the IE setting for automatically finding a proxy configuration file.
Supported settings include:
Checked - Default. When checked, IE will attempt to automatically find a proxy configuration file. First, it will look at the URL specified in DHCP option 252. If option 252 is not specified, it will attempt to load the proxy configuration from the predefined DNS name 'wpad'. If a file is not found, it will use a direct connection.
Unchecked - When unchecked, IE will not attempt to automatically find a proxy configuration file.
XpressConnect is able to auto remediate this setting. By default, Windows XP and Vista has this setting unchecked.
