GPO Internet Explorer Maintenance missing in WS 2008 R2

Hi all
suddenly I missed the Internet Explorer Maintenance in WS 2008 R2, when I show the settings tab on the GPO it self its showing properly, but I cant find it when I try to edit.
any assistance on that ?

some body said
> The Properties dialogue appears. Makes changes as needed. (Why do we
> need a different GPO for each version I have no idea!)
You do not. Simply edit the XML and change the hidden version filter for
iexplore.exe to max="99.0.0".
it means
if i do this i can see all policy in all ie version??
and can you eplane how i edit xml ???
Editing the XML, is to allow a Group Policy Preferences - Internet Explorer settings object, to apply to a newer IE version. e.g. you create a GPP-IE setting for IE8 but you want it to apply to IE9.
This unsupported XML hack was proposed as a workaround, until it became understood how to do it in the correct, supported way.
Here's an example:

Internet Explorer Maintenance - missing, so now what?

Hi All,
So I cannot edit Internet Explorer Maintenance settings as they have been depreciated and as such, I now can't edit sites I have previously put out on to everyone's PCs as favourites. I need to update these Favourites as a couple
of them are now wrong or not used. How am I meant to do this?!!!
Does anyone have any ideas?

GP-IEM was deprecated when IE10 was released. It's not coming back. Migrate your approach to GPP.

(or you can use an old OS, with an old version of IE)
(note that IE10 and older becomes unsupported January 2016)

Does Resetting Internet Explorer Maintenance settings from GPO will also remove the proxy set in IE by a third party tool when the GPO refreshes for the first time

Hi,
We have two GPO's with IE maintenance (Preference Mode Configured)
The settings it has are
1. Automatically detect configuration settings - Set to Enabled.
2. Automatic Browser configuration - Not configured.
We do not have proxy value set in IE through this GPO.
We have proxy set in IE through a third party tool (TPT) which updates the proxy at logon event 5 and 10.
Does Resetting Internet Explorer Maintenance settings from these GPO's also clear proxy set in IE by third party tool after the first GPO refresh.
I am sure the second time when the GP refreshes, the client won't find any IEM settings and hence there is no question of the proxy set in IE by TPT to erase. It is only the first time of the GPO refresh that I am concerned about.
Can someone please guide as I am planning to do the same in our production and concerned about the downtime caused due to the proxy being removed if at all for the first time.

It will disable the proxy server option in Internet Options (untick the box), but will still store your proxy details.
Thanks

No longer see "Internet Explorer Maintenance" in Group Policy Management Console

I am trying to configure Internet Explorer favorites on a GPO that I have already constructed. I had already successfully created the GPO many months ago and wanted to go back and check on some things.
However in the GPMC when I navigate to User Configuration-->Policies-->Windows Settings, I no longer see "Internet Explorer Maintenance" listed. This is where I had previously configured Internet Explorer favorites.
I uninstalled and reinstalled GPM using these instructions
http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-install-the-group-policy-management-in-windows-7/ but this did not help.
Previously I had two Windows XP computers in the OU that this GPO was applied to. I had no problems at all configuring it and getting the rules and favorites to apply to these two computers. I just recently upgraded one of the computers to Windows
7 and used the same machine name for the computer. The computer gets some of the rules applied to it but not all. In particular the IE favorites are not being applied which led me to check the policy in the GPMC. However, as stated before
I cannot even see "Internet Explorer Maintenance" which has me confused on what to do next. Please help.

I'm too tired at the moment to check all you already did, so just let me
ask some further questions on that item:
This is a user or a computer item? If it is a user item and "run in
logged on users context" is checked, I believe it will fail, because a
non administrator cannot add all users favorites.
I'm unaware whether all users favorites works at all - never used it...
For further clarification, I'd enable GPP debug logging:

How to remove Internet Explorer Maintenance with Windows 8

In order to edit group policy preferences for Internet Explorer 10 and newer, we are editing group policy exclusively with GPMC installed on a Windows 8 computer. I have the understanding that once you edit group policy with a newer OS, it shouldn't be edited
with an OS prior. Now we are ready to remove policy settings using Internet Explorer Maintenance by clicking "Reset Browser Settings" for that policy node. However, IEM is not visible with Windows 8. Is it safe to go against best
practice and edit group policy with for example GPMC installed on a Windows 2003 server just to remove IEM policy? Is there a better way to accomplish this task?
Thank you

The DLLs for IEM are removed when a computer is upgraded to IE10/IE11 (or if it ships with IE10/IE11).
This means that you can't remove the IEM settings from a GPO, unless you have a machine that has an older (IE9 or less) browser.
You can either;
a) delete the GPOs which you already know do contain IEM settings (here's a tip on how to find those:
http://deployhappiness.com/tracking-down-rouge-cses-ie-maintenance-addition/ )
b) use a computer which has an older browser, with GPMC/RSAT on it, to do the "IEM Reset".
I would not use WS2003 for this, since WS2003 doesn't understand ADMX, and you might have already used a newer OS to author settings into that same GPO. I would use WS2008R2 or Win7 to do this (ensuring that the browser on that computer is IE8 or IE9 and is
not IE10 nor IE11)

With the Internet Explorer maintenance no longer in IE9 and above

Hi
I heard someone that With the Internet Explorer maintenance no longer in IE9 and above version of IE.
Is this True ?
As I have lots of GPO of favorites configured in IE maintenance and other as well..
Will they be not supportive any more..
If yes, what is the other solution for all my IE maintenance settings ?

IE maintenance has been deprecated with Group Policy Preferences (GPP), Administrative Templates (.admx), and the Internet Explorer Administration Kit 11 (IEAK 11).

Internet explorer 11 missing letters on web page and can't type in a search

Internet explorer 11 missing letters on web page and can't type in a search

I just got a call about this exact issue today!
The person is at a Marriott hotel which uses some type of company called STSN for their internet connection via both Ethernet and Wifi.
http://www.stsn.com/home.html
I'm waiting for them to call me back after trying every trouble shooting step I could think of. My only guess now is that it's Safari's pop up blocker blocking some kind of navigation or log-in window. I'm going to tell them to turn off pop-up blocker menu choice next.
After that it's turning off Java and Javascript to see if the have any affect.
Btw, they're experiencing this propblem on a TiBook G4. Also tried a new user account and two other pre-existing accounts but all had the same issue. Both with Ethernet and WiFi the problem remained.

It IS supported. Either use a newer OS or manually edit the XML:

How to downgrade from Internet explorer 11 to internet explorer 10 on windows server 2008 R2

Hi,
Can someone please let me know how I can downgrade from IE11 to IE10 in my windows server 2008 R2. When I go to control Panel -> Programs -> features and I don't see any program name with internet explorer in that list. Also, when I go to on
'View installed updates', I don't see any update related to IE 11 installed. And, when I click on 'Turn windows feature on or off', it takes me to Server Manager and in there I dont find any feature related to IE.
Any help is much appreciated.

Internet Explorer Maintainace Missing in GPMC

Hi Team,
I have installed a new Windows Server 2012 in my environment. Now i want to deploy Internet Proxy settings into Internet Explorer properties to all my cleints in my local office through GPMC.
Since IE maintainance is not available in Windows 2012, how do i achieve this. I have read differnet blogs however it is very confusing.
Could someone provide me some easy steps.
Thanks
Suman

Hi Suman,
>>I am using 2012 R2 server in My domain..and want to deploy proxy through group policy ..
Don's and Alan's suggestions are right. IEM has been deprecated since Windows 8 in favor of Group Policy Preferences, Administrative Templates, and IEAK. For using group policy to configure proxy settings for IE, as Don and Alan suggested, we can use
GPP Internet Settings extension or Registry extension.
Regarding this topic, the following thread can also be referred to as reference.
Proxy settings not applying to IE above 8
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/3b0f54d7-7293-49dc-9e3f-e8799c20265b/proxy-settings-not-applying-to-ie-above-8
In addition, if we use GPP Internet Settings extension to configure the proxy settings, we need to pay attention to F5-F8 keys of GPP.
Regarding this point, the following blog can be referred to for more information.

Internet Explorer 10 for Windows Server 2008 R2

I need to install IE 9 or IE 10 on a Windows Server 2008 R2. IE 9 or 10 is specified because of compatibility with some of our applications that have been developed in house.
An earlier post listed the link
http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/A/C/8AC7C482-BC74-492E-B978-7ED04900CEDE/IE10-Windows6.1-x86-en-us.exe as a source for the IE 10 download, but when I downloaded it and tried to install it, I got an error "Operating System is not supported".
I am hesitant to download it from one of the non-microsoft sites that offer it.
Is there a way to download and install IE 10 to Windows Server 2008 R2?
Thanks very much for your help.

Hello Logan,
Unfortunately, I did not find any download link of IE 9 or 10 from Microsoft's server. I think they are closing IE 10 or below versions for their OS.
However, I found an external link to download IE 10, if you want then visit:-

"Internet Explorer Branding failed..." even after the GPO was deleted

Our environment is Server 2008 R2 on all servers and Windows 7 Pro 64bit on workstations. Both servers and workstations are on IE10. When running RSOP on the servers we get the following message under the User section:
"Internet Explorer Branding failed due to the error listed below. The specified procedure could not be found."
I found that a GPO still applied IE settings through Internet Explorer Maintenance. I've since created a new GPO using GPP and deleted the old GPO. The problem is that the error still appears when running RSOP.
How can I remove these old GPO settings?

Hi,
Before going further, we need make sure that whether there is another GPO with Internet Explorer Maintenance settings configured
has been applied to the machine.
Besides, I want to confirm with you that whether the old GPO has been unlinked and permanently deleted. In order to narrow down
the cause of the issue, I suggest we could collect the following information.
GPMC.log
==================
a. On domain controller, click Start ->Run, type GPMC.MSC, it will load the GPMC console.
b. Right click on "Group Policy Result" and choose wizard to generate a report for the problematic computer and user account (please
place appropriately). (Choose computer and select the proper user in the wizard)
c. Right click the resulting group policy result and click the "Save Report…" => save report to save the report to a HTML
file.
Once you get the report,
you may upload it to the Skydirve and provide me the download link.
In addition, after running GPupdate /force command, please try to logoff and re-logon to see what will happen.
Best regards,
Frank Shen

Restrict Internet Explorer Through GPO

Hello all,
I am part of an IT department that supports a client network environment and have an issue regarding their Windows terminal server and the use of Internet Explorer by its users. What we would like to do is completely disable the users' ability to surf the
web with Internet Explorer, and after researching this it appears I can accomplish this through a GPO. Unfortunately the only "walkthroughs" I could find instruct me to modify the Terminal Server OU GPO here:
User Configurations --> Windows Settings --> Internet Explorer Maintenance
The problem is there is no "Internet Explorer Maintenance". Apparently this was done away with Internet Explorer 10 and higher. The terminal server is running Windows Server 2008 R2 with Internet Explorer 10. Is there another way I can accomplish
this, even though Internet Explorer Maintenance is no longer available?
Thank you for your feedback!

Hi,
If you are looking at doing something like setting IE to go through a fake proxy server then you can do this with Group Policy Preferences.
The blog post here can show you how to do this.

Internet Explorer 10 / 11 breaks Microsoft's group policies for proxy exceptions?

At one of our larger sites we've started experiencing a major issue with one of our collaborative web servers in that piles of users whose systems have automatically updated to Internet Explorer 10 are not adding the sites we've deployed via group policy
to the proxy exceptions to their proxy exceptions (Internet Options | Connections | LAN settings | Advanced).
So basically we deploy a number of subnets and domain names to our proxy exceptions list and after our support center blew up with calls concerning random issues, I had the admins compile a list of affected and unaffected systems contrasting various items
and we noticed the one similarity was Internet Explorer 10. Thousands of unaffected systems have Internet Explorer 8 / 9 while all those affected have Internet Explorer 10.
Is there a new way to deploy proxy exceptions? We thought about forcing them down via registry keys but felt there must be a less obtrusive method and maybe something is wrong.

Hi,
Did you configure these original settings with IEM?
Any settings that you previously configured with IEM will no longer work on computers where Internet Explorer 10 or newer is installed, regardless of the Windows version it’s been installed on.
You can configure the proxy settings with “Internet Settings Group Policy Preferences” or on the
Proxy Settings page of IEAK 10.
Please refer to:
