Hotfix: Internet Explorer Group Policy Preferences do not apply to Internet Explorer 9

hotfix_iconIE9answerIf you have have been using the some what simple hack I mentioned to make Group Policy Preference work with Internet Explorer 9 you will be relieved to know that Microsoft have now fixed an official hotfix to make this work.

You can get read the full Microsoft Kb article at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2530309 .

However you should take special attention at the two notes:

This update does not re-write the version information for existing settings. Instead, you must define a new set of Internet Explorer settings in a new or existing Group Policy Object.

Meaning you will need to re-created the Group Policy Preference before the policy will apply to a computer running IE9.

This update does not create a new Internet Explorer 9 UI item. However, when define new Group Policy Preferences settings, and you select the Internet Explorer 8 option, this setting now applies both to Internet Explorer 8 and to Internet Explorer 9

This means that you will NOT see an Internet Explorer 9 option in the Internet Settings menu (see image below), however using the IE8 option will work with IE9.

If we take a closer look at the “InternetSettings.xml” after the hotfix has been applied shows the maximum version number is now set to “10.0.0.0” where previously this version was “9.0.0.0”. However you existing Internet Explorer Preferences will remain unaffected…

  8. In the modern times, kitchens have become a vital area of the house and there are a number
    of houses where the kitchen is the place where the women spend a large portion of their daily lives.
    The Masterbuilt designers added a drain clip
    to the fry basket which permits you to hang the basket on the side of the fryer as the turkey drains
    and cools. If the cost estimates are too low,
    the project will go over budget – sometimes significantly so.

  9. It is completely safe and found to be very helpful in solving problems like thinning hair and scalp problems.

    The Hair Regrowth Treatment makes easy or simple for
    everyone to get hair again. Leeson said she decided to transform herself into a Kim clone after
    being bullied and called “ugly” all her life.

  10. As we said, there are changes that your mate could also make.

    But you have to take note that you have to plant them at least a
    month before your scheduled move so that they will have more time to grow.
    As soon as you see a leaking pipe, or if you see that your plumbing is no longer functioning
    as it were a few days ago, immediately call a licensed plumber to check out the situation.
