Group policy settings are not applied for Internet Explorer 6

Written by Christian on April 23, 2008 – 9:10 pm

When you’re in a Windows 2003 network with Windows XP clients, Internet Explorer settings defined in your Group Policy may not be applied. Misconfiguration is often the cause of your Internet Explorer settings not being applied to your Windows XP clients.
In this article i will sum up the reasons why your Internet Explorer settings are not applied. I assume you’re running Windows 2003 SP2 on your domain controller (although SP0 or SP1 should be no problem), Windows XP SP2 on your clients,  and Internet Explorer 6 (at least Internet Explorer 6 SP1). I also assume you do NOT use the Internet Explorer Maintenance Mode. If you do, my advice would be to stop using it. Setting every option in the Group Policy separately gives you much more control.
