Server 2008 R2 DC, Server 2012 DC & GPO's

[CapnPugwash]

Hi,

 

I have two domain controllers : Server 2012 (Primary) & Server 2008 R2

 

We recently changed ISP & I've had to reset the proxy settings for all machines. I can edit IE 10 GPO settings in Sever 2012 but not Server 2008 R2. That's not an issue ... so long as any machine that connects to the Server 2008 R2 DC pulls down the correct GPO's (and they work)

 

We are moving into a new building soon and chances are the proxy settings will change again so I need to be confident that I can push the new settings out to all machines, from either DC

It'll be fine - it's due to a Microsoft "feature" whereby you need a Windows 8/8.1/10 + RSAT or Windows 2012/2012 R2 to see and manage IE10 group policy.

 

The group policy settings themselves are stored in SYSVOL so will replicate to every DC in your domain - so the clients will still pick up the settings regardless of which DC it physically downloads the policy settings from.

 

Hope that makes sense.

That's great, cheers!
