1
00:00:03,060 --> 00:00:08,880
So to summarize this module, there are three ways that you can configure Internet Explorer using group

2
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:09,480
policy.

3
00:00:10,350 --> 00:00:14,910
There's group policy preferences, i.e. maintenance policy and admin templates.

4
00:00:14,910 --> 00:00:17,730
And of course IEEE maintenance has been around the longest.

5
00:00:18,610 --> 00:00:24,040
And it has now been deprecated on any system where IEEE ten is installed, and that includes all Windows

6
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:30,610
eight systems because they came with Windows with IEEE 11 and any Windows seven systems that have IEEE

7
00:00:30,610 --> 00:00:32,920
ten or IEEE 11 installed on them.

8
00:00:33,790 --> 00:00:39,280
So what that essentially means is that you can no longer either edit or process IEEE Maintenance Policy

9
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:40,180
on those systems.

10
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,020
Now, preferences lets you configure most IEEE options.

11
00:00:45,910 --> 00:00:51,520
It it does cover a lot of the things that IEEE maintenance policy did but does not enforce those settings.

12
00:00:52,450 --> 00:00:57,970
So as as I showed in my demo in this module, you can set the proxy setting, but the user can come

13
00:00:57,970 --> 00:01:00,520
along and change it unless you do something about it.

14
00:01:01,380 --> 00:01:06,750
And that's something is admin templates, which does the sort of lockdown part of IEEE configuration.

15
00:01:07,620 --> 00:01:13,620
It doesn't give you as many options for configuring IEEE as preferences does, but it does enforce those

16
00:01:13,620 --> 00:01:14,160
settings.

17
00:01:15,090 --> 00:01:20,580
So for things like site to zone assignments and for disabling the proxy screen and other things, the

18
00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:22,860
IEEE admin templates can be really helpful.

19
00:01:23,730 --> 00:01:29,160
Now you can use a combination of the two, as I did in my demo, to get the biggest bang for your IEEE

20
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:34,440
configuration buck and I highly recommend that as your approach because it just allows you to sort of

21
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:40,560
mix and match the two to do lock down in cases where you need it, or to just simply deliver preferred

22
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,420
settings in cases where you don't.

23
00:01:43,350 --> 00:01:49,320
Now, if you are using IEEE Maintenance Policy, I highly recommend moving towards removing it or replacing

24
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,050
it with a combination of the other two policy areas.

25
00:01:52,950 --> 00:01:58,560
And I did show a couple different ways of removing the settings, either on linking the GPIO or using

26
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,010
the reset browser's settings option on IEEE Maintenance Policy.

27
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:08,280
Now, one thing to keep in mind is make sure you keep around a system that can still edit IEEE Maintenance

28
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,960
Policy, because if you don't, then you'll have you'll be hard pressed to be able to actually remove

29
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:13,110
it.

30
00:02:14,010 --> 00:02:19,470
So it's important to keep at least one system running with IEEE nine on Windows seven, for example,

31
00:02:19,470 --> 00:02:24,540
and that will allow you to continue to edit and potentially reset and remove those IEEE maintenance

32
00:02:24,540 --> 00:02:25,590
policy settings.
