Problem with IE preferneces and Windows 2000 Workstations

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.group_policy (More info?)

Hi Rob,

I assume you are talking about the IE maintenance. As you said, it is a user
based policy. So it is not needed to apply it to your domain computers. It
is at the same level as the DDP, so it is applied to your domain. You need
to have your auth users be able to read your policy, which is the default
with a new policy. I do not understand the rest from you. So what I suggest
is you start it all over again. Create a new policy and set only what is
needed. Try again. If things still go wrong, try to use gpresult to check
how the policy applies.

br,
Denis
