By default, Internet Explorer will have the automatically detect settings enabled and for some managed network, this may need to be uncheck.
As you know, the IE Maintenance GPO famously used to configure this and other IE Settings was first deprecated in IE10 in favor of Administrative Templates and Group Policy Preferences and it is important to familiarize yourself with GPP registry to make your Administrative work a little easier.
NOTE: Please read the article [https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj890998.aspx] for more detailed information about the changes and other policies!
In this blog, we will cover how to use Group Policy Preferences to uncheck the automatically detect settings in Internet Explorer.
NOTE: Before you start, make sure your host machine(Machine where you will be importing the Connections key from) have the Internet Explorer Option "Automatically detect settings" Unchecked!
As you can see, the GPP Registry is a GREAT way to get your settings configured. The same approach can be used to implement any number of IE settings and I hope this helps you in the future.

Im trying to get this going as well. Trying to get the per machine policy going in a Server 2012R2 domain and Windows 8.1 Clients. It's not creating the entries under HKLM after I make the policy change you mentioned. Any thoughts?

@Dave
You should be able to use hklm (Machine) configuration. so, when you create the GPP Registry, create one for hkcu and another for hklm
