The Proxy Client is an MSI that requires parameters to be fed into it at an admin level, hence the batch files for elevation and parameter feed. It also has a problem with a network reset script I wrote to repair wireless connections.

We also install a Proxy client on all computers to enforce the same protection rules when the computer leaves our network (it is extremely effective, recent studies show that a student that lives off campus is over 3 times more likely to get a virus than students that live on campus). The problem we are having with SEP 12 download insight is that it blocks the installation of the proxy client every time. I can set it on the lowest level possible and it still blocks it. The heuristics agent in it isn't intelligent enough to crack open the self-extracting ZIP and take a close look at the actual proxyclient.msi. I can build an SEP package that doesn't include the download insight feature and disable it on the management server, but upon deployment it will show an error saying that download insight is not enabled. Then it gives a handy little button called "Fix", which will download and instal!
