Troubleshooting Proxy settings from command prompt on MS Exchange server

Please use FQDN not only domain name in the command.
netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-server="http=<Myproxyserver>:8080;https=<Myproxyserver>:8080" bypass-list= "CASSERVER.DOMAIN.COM"

Please change the relevant field in the above command


We might also need to run this line too:

netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-server="http=172.16.16.100:8080;https=172.16.16.100:8080" bypass-list="172.*;*.mydomain.com;*.local".

and the same can be achieved from Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet Options > Lan settings > Proxy server settings but sometimes it is good to have settings from Command Prompt

Under Proxy server option
Select  'ByPass proxy server for Local Addresses" and then click Advanced add domain in Exceptions "Do not use proxy server for addresses beginning with:" For Example, you can add domain name like this domain.com;domain2.com;domain3.com

6 interview questions you need to ask

1. "If you stayed with your current company, what would be your next move?"

2. "What makes you stand out from others?"

3. Tell me your greatest accomplishment.

4. "Give me an example of a time when you took the time to share a co-worker's achievement with others."
