I've just been through this exact thing for 2 annoying days. You're not going to like the answer.
Despite setting the proxy through the registry - and I could see it in there using ansible debug tasks - it didn't actually apply the proxy setting until I logged in through interactive RDP, using the same account. No idea how to do this automatically - and I now face having to set the proxy and then log into every windows system we own. :( Any ideas on automating this would be helpful.
