Hi.

Is it possible to limit size of temp. internet files on
clients (w2k / xp) via group policy on win2000 server?

Yup, you need to switch the GPO IE settings to the so-called "Preference
mode". For more information refer to:

Use of Group Policy Objects to Administer Internet Explorer

If you still have concerns feel free to repost and I'll elaborate on
these settings.

Hi,

I was looking to also set the temp file limits on workstations. I found your post and tried this:

HOW TO: Set Advanced Settings In Internet Explorer by Using Group Policy
Objects
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=274846

But when I try to edit any of the settings in the "advanced" section it just kicks me out of the GP setion. Any idea why ?

Do you mean that the dialog closes by itself when you click OK? Or does
the console close when you double-click one of the categories under
Advanced?

If the MMC crashes when you try to access the categories, this is a bug with
Windows 2000 and you can obtain a hotfix from Microsoft.

Hi again.

Just as Travesty I get kicked out of GPO when
doubleclicking both Corporate Settings and Internet
Settings.

It's possible to add the ADM files under Administrative
Templates, so theres an "IE Maintenance Only" folder in
Adm. Temp. But when I try to open it, it says "The
inetcorp.adm file is not for Windows 2000." Can I download
another ADM-file from somewhere?

Sorry for the delayed answer. You can try replacing this file with the
orinigal from the Win2K CD or the applied service pack. It should be
with the name inetcorp.ad_. I'm sorry that I can't give you a more
precise answer.

I went to the KB325666 page, I cannot believe that microsoft wants you to call them to get the fix for thsi problem and on to of that you will be charged for the call !
