1 00:00:03,060 --> 00:00:06,900 Let's dig in a little bit on these different areas for configuring IEEE. 2 00:00:07,810 --> 00:00:12,010 I've got group policy editor opened on my server 2012 box. 3 00:00:12,970 --> 00:00:15,940 First off, let's look at admin template policy. 4 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:24,250 So either under computer configuration or user configuration, if I drill into admin templates, Windows 5 00:00:24,250 --> 00:00:29,800 Components, Internet Explorer, there are a bunch of options available for configuring Internet Explorer 6 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:30,370 settings. 7 00:00:31,270 --> 00:00:37,180 So everything from pop up allow lists to turning off features within the UI, i.e. to security settings. 8 00:00:38,110 --> 00:00:43,780 So there's lots and lots of capabilities around the various settings within group policy or within IEEE. 9 00:00:44,650 --> 00:00:49,240 Now, as I mentioned, admin templates, the supported both per computer and per user. 10 00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:55,680 So you can either set if you set it per computer, you're setting for all users who log into that machine. 11 00:00:56,550 --> 00:01:01,500 If you're setting it per user, you're setting it for whichever user accounts in aid process, the per 12 00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:03,870 user policy as they log on to a machine. 13 00:01:04,770 --> 00:01:06,720 So a little bit different approach. 14 00:01:07,590 --> 00:01:11,250 One is per computer where you can sort of enforce for all users. 15 00:01:11,430 --> 00:01:13,500 And the other is on a per user basis. 16 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,690 Now with the other two areas of configuring, i.e. it's only per user. 17 00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:24,190 So what I'm going to show you, since I'm on a 2012 box running IEEE 11. 18 00:01:24,210 --> 00:01:27,210 You're not actually going to see IEEE maintenance policy. 19 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,700 Normally it would be under here under user configuration window settings. 20 00:01:33,590 --> 00:01:38,840 But I will show you group policy preferences under user configuration preferences, control panel, 21 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:39,740 internet settings. 22 00:01:40,670 --> 00:01:46,040 Now if I right click on this, I can get in and create a policy that's based on the browser version, 23 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,320 and then you'll see all the options available to me. 24 00:01:49,220 --> 00:01:53,570 Now let's shift gears quickly and I'll just show you what this looks like on a machine that does have 25 00:01:53,570 --> 00:01:58,100 only IEEE nine installed, and you can actually see Internet Explorer Maintenance Policy. 26 00:01:59,030 --> 00:02:04,010 So you'll see under user configuration, Windows Settings, Internet Explorer, maintenance policy, 27 00:02:04,010 --> 00:02:06,470 and I can view the options that I can configure. 28 00:02:07,370 --> 00:02:13,850 I can configure browser settings, I can configure connection and proxy settings, etc.. 29 00:02:14,740 --> 00:02:19,870 All of these are available because this machine is still running, i.e. nine on it and it's only Windows 30 00:02:19,870 --> 00:02:20,380 seven. 31 00:02:21,250 --> 00:02:26,470 So, you know, lots of nuances to how this works based on which browser version you're using, which 32 00:02:26,470 --> 00:02:30,010 machine operating system version you're using for editing group policy. 33 00:02:30,850 --> 00:02:33,340 It's important to kind of keep this in mind. 34 00:02:34,210 --> 00:02:37,590 And I'll underscore this a little bit further on in this module. 35 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,430 But my basic recommendation is if you're using IEEE Maintenance today, move away from it. 36 00:02:42,430 --> 00:02:46,690 And if you're not using, don't start using it because eventually it will go away.
