| Hi all
I am trying to set some IE program defaults using Group Policy, but the
default is not being changed to what I have set in the policy. When I
perform an RSoP and/or Gpresult on the target workstation it looks like the
Policy is being applied. I've also looked at the brndlog.txt file and again
everything looks ok.
Interestingly, if I go to the relevant programs.inf file on the workstation,
right-click and select "Install", the changes take effect immediately. In
other words, there doesn't seem to be anything intrinsically wrong with the
GPO setting itself.
Any thoughts on why it might be failing and/or how I can troubleshoot
further?
Merry Christmas!
Tony
