Win7 and IE9

[techie08]

Has anyone else deployed IE9 with windows 7?

 

Im having a realy strange issue with the proxy settings in the user GPO not being applied on first login. When the user logs out and logs back in again they apply.

 

Ive done a GPO that only contains the proxy settings in Internet Explorer Maintainance and also done tries creating a reg key to apply the settings via GPO. Both have the same result.

 

I also works when i run gpupdate once the user has logged in.

 

Help!!

Ive just tried the same with an IE8 Install and again the GPO settings for the proxy information does not apply!!

If i do a gpupdate /force and it they applies. So i setup a logon script (batch file to run gpupdate /force /wait:0) but this also doesn't apear to run. Setting this as a logon script to run in the account settings of the user runs but is tempremental.

 

This is really driving me crazy now!

We have W7 with IE 9 and we set a proxy .pac file in IE and it applies fine. Sorry i cant be much help..

Try changing the order the policies are applied in Group Policy Management. You could also just apply it directly to the Curriculum GPO for example as it's a setting that's not likely to change. PAC files are generally needed when your proxy settings are big and complex. Most networks do not need this.

By group policy.

Just found out what the issue is. I created the Internet Explorer 9 Install Using the IEAK and this for some reason caused issues when using group policies.

 

Using just the standard installer works fine when applying GPOs for IE.

I have heard of IEAK causing GP issues but you found that out before I replied. IEAK is more for times when GP is not an option I believe.
