Problems applying IE Settings with group policy

[Curtis Fray]

Hi,

I'm having problems when trying to apply IE settings by group policy to my
users. However, if I assign the user local admin rights it seems to work.
But obviously I'd rather avoid this. What I'm basically trying to do is
automatically assign the proxy settings. I don't quite understand why the
group policy requires local admin rights as this is something I can manually
do when logged on with just user rights. I've applied other policies (ie
changing desktop background) and this works fine.

I found mention of changing the policy to Preference Mode but this made no
difference.

When I check the Event Viewer it's giving me an error with Source:Userenv,
Event ID: 1091. I've found this is discussed in MS article KB823608 but this
doesn't seem to apply to me as I have a pure Windows 2003 Server domain with
XP (SP2) clients only. And also the error is on the clients not the server.

Does anyone have any ideas? The only mentions I can find about this in
newsgroups always refer to KB823608.

Thanks,

Curtis.

Hi Curtis

Are you redirecting Application Data? If so, this might be a known issue
that Microsoft is currently investigating. Try turning off Application Data
redirection if you have it in use and see what happens.

Hi Mark,

Thanks very much for the info. Removing the Application Data folder
redirection has sorted out the problem. Where would be the best place for me
to keep an eye open for the fix for this?

Hi Curtis

There's a fix for this now - 888254. It requires a new registry key and

Mark-
I heard a rumor from someone in the UK that the fix was pulled (at least
there). Do you know if that is the case?

Hi Curtis

Yes this is the correct article number but it's not yet finished.
You'll need to log a support incident with Microsoft to obtain the fix.

Kind regards

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the update. Can you confirm the KB article? I've tried
looking up 888254 but I'm getting an error saying no documents match
the search.

Curtis.

============================

Hi Curtis

There's a fix for this now - 888254. It requires a new registry key
and values also. If you contact Microsoft, you'll be able to get the
fix.

Kind regards

message Hi Curtis

If/when one is released, I'll post here but you might want to log a
case with Microsoft so that they can monitor the issue and contact
you directly when one is available.

Kind regards

Hi Mark,

Thanks very much for the info. Removing the Application Data folder
redirection has sorted out the problem. Where would be the best
place for me to keep an eye open for the fix for this?

Regards,

Curtis.

message Hi Curtis

Are you redirecting Application Data? If so, this might be a
known issue that Microsoft is currently investigating. Try
turning off Application Data redirection if you have it in use and
see what happens.

Hi,

I'm having problems when trying to apply IE settings by group
policy to my
users. However, if I assign the user local admin rights it seems
to work.
But obviously I'd rather avoid this. What I'm basically trying to
do is
automatically assign the proxy settings. I don't quite understand
why the
group policy requires local admin rights as this is something I
can manually
do when logged on with just user rights. I've applied other
policies (ie
changing desktop background) and this works fine.

I found mention of changing the policy to Preference Mode but
this made no
difference.

When I check the Event Viewer it's giving me an error with
Source:Userenv,
Event ID: 1091. I've found this is discussed in MS article
KB823608 but this
doesn't seem to apply to me as I have a pure Windows 2003 Server
domain with
XP (SP2) clients only. And also the error is on the clients not
the server.

Does anyone have any ideas? The only mentions I can find about
this in
newsgroups always refer to KB823608.

Thanks,

Curtis.
