Suggestion - Add proxy support

[Mrkuff]

I was behind a proxy here and I had to change the script to add "-Proxy $Proxy -ProxyCredential $MyCreds" at the end of each "Invoke-WebRequest" cmdlet.

Same thing for "Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet"

But then, i got error with "Find-DscResource -moduleName $modulename -RequiredVersion $moduleversion | Save-Module -Path "$PSScriptRoot\Temp\DSC"

I've search a long time and try these configuration without success :

Setting TLS 1.2 : [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12 Bypassing the certificate validation : [Net.ServicePointManager]::ServerCertificateValidationCallback = {$true}; Bypassing the certificate validation by code instead of block :

C# class to create callback

$code = @" public class SSLHandler { public static System.Net.Security.RemoteCertificateValidationCallback GetSSLHandler() {

    return new System.Net.Security.RemoteCertificateValidationCallback((sender, certificate, chain, policyErrors) => { return true; });
}

} "@

compile the class

Add-Type -TypeDefinition $code

disable checks using new class

No success!! but then i've found way to configure default proxy but i wasnt able to add it to the script, and I had to install the module outside of the "Prereq" script. here what I use for this to work :

$proxy = 'YER PROXY HERE' # update this

[system.net.webrequest]::defaultwebproxy = new-object system.net.webproxy($proxy)

[system.net.webrequest]::defaultwebproxy.BypassProxyOnLocal = $true

Install-PackageProvider -Name nuget -Scope AllUsers -Confirm:$false -Force -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 Register-PSRepository -Default -verbose

Install-Module -Name xActiveDirectory -Scope AllUsers -Confirm:$false -Force Install-Module -Name xDHCpServer -Scope AllUsers -Confirm:$false -Force Install-Module -Name xDNSServer -Scope AllUsers -Confirm:$false -Force Install-Module -Name NetworkingDSC -Scope AllUsers -Confirm:$false -Force Install-Module -Name xPSDesiredStateConfiguration -Scope AllUsers -Confirm:$false -Force

Probably there more "code head" people who can help with this since it's ugly but working :)

Thanks again for the great script!

Oh and .. I've just saw this message for the telemetry :D

Unnecessary files cleanup Do you want to cleanup unnecessary files and folders?

I've rerun the script completely cos i had to change the DC domain name.. and i've just change this from the 1_Prereq.ps1 and it's working now with my proxy :

set TLS 1.2 for github downloads

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

set TLS 1.2 and Proxy for github downloads

$proxy = 'YER PROXY HERE' # update this
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
[system.net.webrequest]::defaultwebproxy = new-object system.net.webproxy($proxy)
[system.net.webrequest]::defaultwebproxy.credentials = [System.Net.CredentialCache]::DefaultNetworkCredentials
[system.net.webrequest]::defaultwebproxy.BypassProxyOnLocal = $true
Register-PSRepository -Default

Ok it's the last version of it (without any error message ) :

set TLS 1.2 and Default Web Proxy for github downloads

$proxy = 'YER PROXY HERE' # update this
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
[system.net.webrequest]::defaultwebproxy = new-object system.net.webproxy($proxy)
[system.net.webrequest]::defaultwebproxy.credentials = [System.Net.CredentialCache]::DefaultNetworkCredentials
[system.net.webrequest]::defaultwebproxy.BypassProxyOnLocal = $true
