mirojr Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Hi Thought I would start a new thread for this issue, although related to my last post. Seems I cannot find a way to control the Compatibility View Settings in IE 11 centrally through group policy Does anyone have a way to overcome this ? Seems that we have quite a few sites that need adding to compatibility list to work properly. Thanks
localzuk Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Technet has this - Manage Internet Explorer 11 compatibility using Group Policy
mirojr Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 Hi Cheers. Am not sure if this is actually for Server 2012. My current group policy does not seem to manage IE 11. I had to start using Group policy preferences. I will have a look now
mirojr Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 it appears that the item Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Compatibility View does not exist in classic administrative templates. So I presume I need a new template for IE11, but am unsure
localzuk Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 It does for me, with Windows 7 RSAT. The item is under User Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Internet Explorer/Compatibility View. What OS are you looking at Group Policy under?
mirojr Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 I am logging into Server 2008 R2 and using gpmc.msc That's the view of my path in gpmc.msc User Configuration/Policies/Classic Administrative Templates(ADM)/Windows Components/Internet Explorer/??
localzuk Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Not classic administrative templates. Just administrative templates. 1
mirojr Posted January 29, 2014 Author Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks for help Hmm I must be missing something as I do not have this option. Any particular admx files I should be installing for this that you know of? This lot by any chance Download Administrative Templates (ADMX) for Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 from Official Microsoft Download Centre
localzuk Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Included as default on my machines. Do you have IE11 installed on the server you're working with?
mirojr Posted January 29, 2014 Author Posted January 29, 2014 No. I need to service pack 1 it before I can put IE11 on. worried it might screw server up so been procrastinating, and getting time can be tricky. No alternatives?
