I am dealing with an interesting issue. I am using AWS SSM to manage my Windows Updates and going through a 3rd party proxy server (which I have no control over, nor a choice to use it). I am attempting to automate proxy settings (found here:https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?messageID=782297) using GPO or any other method (.ps1, .cmd) available. The only method I have found requires the following: 

PS C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\PSTools> .\psexec -i -s -d cmd 
Then in the System User Context CMD prompt; 
C:\Windows\system32>whoami 
nt authority\system 
C:\Windows\system32>inetcpl.cpl 
Configure the settings manually according to the users internet 
connection settings.

I have been digging around and trying to use batch files, group policy preferences...and I am stumped. Does anyone have any ideas? Also, I have tried "How to configure IE proxying for the local system account?" already to no avail.

You're right there, you almost made it. Run Internet Explorer (iexplore.exe), not just inetcpl.cpl, under that user context, and configure the proxy inside Internet Explorer.
