Summary

If you use a proxy server in your environment you would often configure this in Internet Explorer and mgsimportrecognition.exe would use the IE settings however in some cases you might not be able to use the proxy in Internet Explorer e.g. another application won't work through the proxy.

Synopsis

If you use a proxy server in your environment you would often configure this in Internet Explorer and mgsimportrecognition.exe would use the IE settings however in some cases you might not be able to use the proxy in Internet Explorer e.g. another application won't work through the proxy.

Discussion

If this is the case you will need to manually enter the proxy server using the -ps switch in mgsimportrecognition e.g. mgsimportrecognition.exe -ps <ProxyServer>:<ProxyPort> -pu <ProxyUsername> -pp <ProxyPassword>
 
The proxy username and password may not be required, it all depends on your configuration.

 

Additional Information

Once the command has been run once with the -ps -pu -pp switches it should save the configuration so that next time it works by just running the executable.

The configuration settings are saved in the following registry key:

KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ManageSoft Corp\ManageSoft\Compliance\CurrentVersion

If you are running a 64bit version of windows the registry key is:

KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ManageSoft Corp\ManageSoft\Compliance\CurrentVersion

If you are unsure about or need to know the proxy username or port previously configured in IE for the content libraries, you can use the following short script below in an administrative PowerShell

netsh winhttp show proxy

$client = new-object System.Net.WebClient
$client.Proxy.GetProxy("https://
