Registry updates via GPO & ADM files.

[Bill Frisbee [MVP]]

OK guys, here is one that I'm a little stuck on.

We are a larger Windows Server 2003 and Citrix XPe FR3 shop. The problem is
that default behavour of Windows XP sets the IE Cache to 10% (if I remember
correctly) of your hard disk. This means we have most of our users with 8 GB
of temp files. Once this gets to about 100 MB, Citrix ICA clients start to
have really bad issues.

Therefore I want to force a registry change out to all the computers in the
feild.

Having done some stuff like this before I figured I would do it via an ADM
into Group Policy, but making changes like this are a littel difficult.

Thus far, this is what I have:

CLASS USER
CATEGORY !!"Windows Components"
CATEGORY !!"Internet Explorer"
CATEGORY !!"Cache Settings"
KEYNAME "Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Internet

Settings\Cache\Content"
POLICY !!Set_CacheLimit
EXPLAIN !!CacheLimit_Explain
PART !!Cache   NUMERIC REQUIRED
VALUENAME "CacheLimit"
DEFAULT 1024
MAX  2048
MIN 1
END PART
END POLICY
END CATEGORY
END CATEGORY
END CATEGORY

[strings]
CacheLimit_Explain="This numeric value sets the disk space utilized by
Internet Explorer to store temporary files. CCS keeps this value low to
prevent issues with Citrix ICA clients"

All this is supposed to do is go into the registry and set
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Cache\Content to 1024.

Will this ADM I threw together work? Am I doing it wrong? Am I missing
something?

Anyone have any suggestions???

Should do the trick

But you should remove the tick under View\Filtering 'Only Show Policy settings that can be fully managed
Otherwise it won't show

Nasty...
