applied to user when doing a GP Results in GPMC, but when I close IE ,
files are still in Temporary folder. how can I troubleshoot this to
get it to work.

On a target client, run rsop.msc - does it show the policy as applied?

Weird .. can you check on a client that's rsop.msc say it applied the
policy, if the corresponding reg key called "Persistent" is set in
HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Cache ?

OK, I have the same problem. "Persistent" = 0. "Empty temporary Internet
Files folder when browser is closed" = Enabled. But nothing in \local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files\... is deleted. Why ?!?!

So the policy is applied? Are the settings applied to the clients
registry? Here's an ADM template you can use, not sure if it implements
a different registry key or is just a duplication of the built-in
policy, but you could give it a try:

LASS USER

CATEGORY "Custom Changes for Internet Explorer"

POLICY "Delete temporary internet files on close"
KEYNAME "Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Cache"
VALUENAME "Persistent"
VALUEON NUMERIC 0 VALUEOFF NUMERIC 1
END POLICY
END CATEGORY

Beware of the evil line break!

cheers,

Florian

trouble to reply. I go home happy!

Thanks for the feedback. That's an ADM template of Mark's german Group
Policy site. I've used it a couple of times without even looking at the
built-in one. Guess I'll have to look at it again and see why it seems
not to work. Weird in any case. Glad you can spend the rest of the days
in chill-mode

cheers,

Hi,

Thanks for all for the information given in this subject. I am facing same
problem where the Policy got applied on clients but not work. Anyhow, when I
tried to modify the registry of Persistent from 0 to 1, it gives error
message "Cannot edit Persistent. Error writing the value's new contents ".
Also How to apply the changes over network via group policy. I would be
thankful if you help in this matter.

Have you tried flipping it by hand? If so - are you logged on with an
account with sufficient permissions?
