Re: group policy preferences

Other settings are applying fine, just the IE7 homepage for instance will
not apply. I've tried it in several different GPOs with several different
users and it doesn't seem to be functioning correctly...I haven't had any
problems with any other policies.

Hi,

Do you have any other Group Policies or are these the only ones? Are the
other Group Policies working?

More than likely if a policy doesn't apply, DNS is to blame. I am not
sure
of your setup but I have my DNS troubleshooting *** here:

I have my settings set fine and all my IE 7 settings are working.

Also you might be able to use Group Policy Management Console to test what
settings are applying.

Cheers,
Lara

Has anyone had any problems with the preferences not working
correctly/acting funny?

For instance:

I created a NEW OU blocked policy inhertance(to make sure NOTHING was
interfering), then linked a new gpo to this OU and applied a new IE7
preference setting, and in it I changed the security level to medium and
the
homepage url.

So i dropped a user in this new ou and logged in and bam...nothing was
applied. I'm having lots of trouble getting these IE settings to apply
in
other areas of my domain as well.

Also the tool to edit the IE7 preferences appears to be bugged...you'll
notice if you hit custom on the security settings and if you change
something or whatever and hit ok..if you go back, whatever you changed
most
likely will not be changed. It will be back to default...an example of a
setting is "run signed active x controls". You can change it to enable,
and
hit ok. If you go back it will be set at "prompt" no mater what you do.
