[Proxy] (Unattend.txt)

[Proxy]

The [Proxy] section contains entries for specifying proxy server settings for the Microsoft® Windows® XP or Windows Server 2003 family browser. If these settings are not present, Setup uses the default for Windows XP or the Windows Server 2003 family.

Important

To make sure your [Proxy] settings take effect, you need to include the [Branding] section header and the BrandIEUsingUnattended entry in the answer file to enable the following browser-related settings:
```
[Branding]
BrandIEUsingUnattended = Yes
```
In the [Unattended] section, if AutoActivate = Yes and ActivateProxy = Proxy, Windows Product Activation (WPA) attempts to activate this installation of Windows XP by using the proxy settings specified in this section.
If ActivateProxy is a value other than Proxy, WPA uses the proxy settings specified in [section_name] of the Unattend.txt file. The entries in [section_name] must match the syntax specified for the [Proxy] section.
