  • 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

  • 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:

  • 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).

  • 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:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2008/07/18/enabling-group-policy-preferences-debug-logging-using-the-rsat.aspx
    NO THEY ARE NOT EVIL, if you know what you are doing:
    Good or bad GPOs?

  • 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 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?

  • "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

  • 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:
    Replacements for Internet Explorer Maintenance
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj890998.aspx
    Here is a new deployment guide for IE 10, would like to share with you:

  • Internet Options greyed out in Internet Explorer 9 because of GPO settings in Windows 2008 AD

    Internet Options greyed out in Internet Explorer 9 because of GPO settings in Windows 2008 AD.
    I am trying to find out what GPO setting is causing this so I can change I.E. settings at a desktop running Windows 7.
    A GPO has I.E. locked down so settings are greyed out for Intranet settings so I can't change Intranet settings.
    How do I enable so I can save changes with a GPO?

    Classic GPO using Administrative Templates, is designed to do exactly that (disable the UI).
    Previously, you could use IEM in preference mode.
    Now, you'll need to use GPP, but there are a couple of limitations.
    Check the IE10 IEAK documentation (it's useful for understanding what you can do with GPP)

  • Issues with Server 2008 R2 GPO Settings Being Applied To Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7

    We are working on a new domain and I'm trying to figure out how to populate the default Home page, Trusted Sites and the Proxy now that Microsoft has removed the IEM from the GPO's.
    I have created a standalone policy that only has these items set in the User Configuration Preferences and the settings are not updating for my test user account on the test system.  I see the policy is being applied without any errors.  The only
    other GPO that is being applied to this system is the Default Domain Policy and it is at the default settings.
    Why would Microsoft take away such a basic and fundamental administrative function?  I'm trying to figure this out before all support ends for the older versions of IE in January, 2016.  I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to get this configured
    so I don't have to touch every system.
    Mark Gordon
    Systems Administrator

    Hi Karen and thanks for the reply.  I'm having to use my personal Microsoft account as I was unable to reconnect to this one.  The only settings in this group policy that is set are the 3 fields (Home page, Security level for Trusted Sites and
    Proxy script under the LAN Settings) under the User Configuration Preferences.   There is nothing configured under the Computer Configuration section.
    I have my test computer and user in a Test OU with this policy linked to it.  The only policy being applied to this system through inheritance, is the Default Domain Policy (all default settings).  Attached is the link to the gpreport.html that
    you requested.
    I am very aware of making sure there are no other settings in the same as well as other policies that can overwrite the desired settings.  This is why I have created a policy with only these few settings as a test to ensure that they work.  I'd
    be grateful if you would review the result file below and could come up with some suggestions that I could try.  Thanks a bunch.

    If you're using Group Policy Preferences (GPP), a common mistake for those new to using GPP, is to misunderstand the F5/F6/F7/F8 configuration step (particularly for the Internet Explorer settings):

  • Disable Internet explorer app using GPO

    Hi,
    I'm just starting to customize our GPOs for Windows 8.1 as we are starting roll out soon. Regarding that i've been trying to get rid of the app version of IE11 and give the users no choice but to use the desktop version, because of compatibility etc.
    I have not found a GPO setting or reg key to do this. Can it be done via GPO?

    Hi,
    @Kate
    To quote my previous post: "...confirming GPO settings were applied using gpresult -v and also made changes in local gpedit.msc just to make sure..."
    @Svekke
    I can confirm that not only does gpresult show GPO being applied, but alos by starting IE11 desktop, going to settings, programs i can see the option being greyed out and that "Always in internet Explorer on the desktop" is chosen.
    @all
    After going through this again (had 2 cups of coffee first) i had one of those "facePalm experiences" when i noticed the second suggested GPO setting from Svekke2k14 about "Open internet explorer tiles on the desktop". This did the trick
    The wording and explanation of this GPO setting was a bit awkward to say the least. I expected this to do the opposite of what it actually does, i.e. open the tiles version from the desktop... Doh! Ah well... ;-)
    Thanks to both for the assistance.

  • Win 7 IE10 "Internet Explorer Branding failed due to the error listed below. The specified procedure could not be found."

    Hi All,
    I am testing some Windows 7 builds with IE10 installed and when I do a Resultant Set of Policies on them they all have an error in the user section of the GPOs as shown in the image.
    To investigate I unlinked all the IE policies from the OU and rebuilt the PCs and wiped the user accounts' roaming profiles (local already wiped with the format of the HDD for the rebuild) but still get the same error even with no IE policies
    applied. I have looked through RSOP and there are no settings applied either under the maintenance section or under Admin Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer.
    Please can someone fill me on how to stop this error from showing?
    Thanks

    Hi Robert,
    As I mentioned in my original post I see that message being "produced" when I run RSOP.msc and generate the results. I probably should have posted this image in as you can see what section is affected -
    I've been digging around in the event viewer and have found this multiple times throughout.
    This is an IE install downloaded directly from Microsoft.com. I've uninstalled it, rebooted,, re-downloaded again and re-installed it and am still getting the same output. If I leave IE8 on the PC I don't get this issue at all. We've not used the IEAK
    to configure it in any way.
    The problem occurs with the client trying to apply IE policies via group policy. I can only see the error when I run RSOP and generate an output.
    Another issue I've found is that it won't apply the proxy settings via group policy preferences IE control panel section - I'm having to use reg entries instead. I found this post with people having the same issue with the same error -

    Which text file should I be looking for to trace it back from?
