Re: GPO settings are not applied

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

The default response whenever an IE Maintenance policy fails to install is to enable the policy for this machine under Computer Configuration\Admin templates\System\Group Policy\IE Maintenance Policy\Always process even if the GPO has not changed. I've said it before and I'll say it again--the IE Maintenance CSE is one of the buggiest, crappiest pieces of code in the GP infrastructure. This particular "fix" is documented in a KB article somewhere. Give it a try and report back on what you find.

Thanks

I have been trying to find a solution to this problem for 6 months now. I
have ran across others that are having problems with the IE settings not
being applied and have found no solution.

There must be an issue here with the way that the settings are applied if
there are many people having this issue.

I've found that the settings are applied after a reboot, so I think that
there is an issue with the asyncronys policy processing that is done every 90
- 120 minutes. If there is more than one policy that has a install.ins in the
policy folder in the sysvol share when there is a async background refresh a
lower ranking IE config could be applied last causing the problem, or mayby
they are skiped all together?
