Group Policy Setting (GPO) for IE 10 or above

Nowadays, most organization changing to Windows 7, 8 or above. Hence, the Internet Explorer version also starting to be IE 10 and above. To control the IE policy setting over the Group Policy (GPO), below is the good way.

But make sure you have the Windows Server 2012 or 2012 R2 Domain Controller to perform this. Otherwise, you are able to create the policy till IE 9 only. 

In case there is no WS 2012 or above DC, just install the RSAT of Group Policy Management Console on any Window Server 2012 above machine, with the appropriate permission, still able to perform the same task as below.  

1. Open the Group Policy Management Console and create a new GPO.

2. Edit the GPO setting, then Use “Preferences -> Control Panel Settings -> Internet Settings”

3. Under the Internet Settings -> New -> Internet Explorer 10

4. Go to Connection -> Local Area Network (LAN) settings as usual

5. Remember to Press F5 (or F6) to confirm the entry with “red dashed line” turning to “green dashed line” so that the settings will be applied.


6. Function keys:

F5 – Enable all settings on the current tab.
F6 – Enable the currently selected setting. 
F7 – Disable the currently selected setting. 
F8 – Disable all settings on the current tab.


7. Click OK then Apply this GPO to the test OU and run “gpupdate /force” in IE10/IE11 installed clients.

8. More details can refer to here --> http://blogs.technet.com/b/grouppolicy/archive/2008/10/13/red-green-gp-preferences-doesn-t-work-even-though-the-policy-applied-and-after-gpupdate-force.aspx
