Proxy Server Preferences Page

By default, PDQ Inventory uses the proxy settings for the Background Service user. If your organization uses a user group policy object (GPO) to push out your proxy information and the background service runs under a service account, then you need to configure the Proxy Server settings so that PDQ Inventory can find the proxy server to process scans.

To access the Proxy Server settings, click Options > Preferences (or press Ctrl+Comma) and select Proxy Server in the Preferences window.

Options

Description
