"Internet Explorer Maintenance" Not Available in GPMC

[Dave Morrow]

Hi all, I am a relative rookie with Group Policy - let me start by making
that clear.....

Anyhow, I have what seems to be a ridiculous problem. I do all of my policy
changes on my Admin Workstation (Win XP SP2). I recently wanted to set some
policies on Internet Explorer (home page, proxy settings etc). In GPMC on
my workstation, in User Config ---> Windows Settings I should see "Internet
Explorer Maintenance" but it is not there. Only Remote Installation appears
in there. When I go to my domain controller (Win 2K SP4) and edit the same
policy, "internet explorer maintenance" is there. I would really like to
edit on my Admin Workstation. I am certain this issue relates to ADM files,
but am unsure how to correct the issue. Any help would be greatly
appreciated!

Dave-
Sounds like the IE Maintenance editor snap-in registration is missing on
that admin workstation. Try issuing the following command on that
workstation:

regsvr32 ieaksie.dll

That worked! Strange? Does this thing not get installed by default? I've
tried 3 different workstations, and they all experienced the same issue.
I thank you kindly for your assistance!

It should be installed by default but I see this issue all the time.
