Hello Forums,
I work for a small company who has an Enterprise Resource Planning system that runs out of the browser. It requires certain security/browser settings to function properly.
IE has been pushing a lot of updates lately, and each time an update comes, every single instance of IE returns a bunch of the necessary security settings back to factory defaults. That means we have to re-enter the appropriate configuration.
For example, I need to change:
Gear Symbol --> Internet Options --> Security --> Trusted Sites --> Sites (Add a few sites)
Gear Symbol --> Internet Options --> Security --> Trusted Sites --> Custom Level --> (Change twelve settings here)
Gear Symbol --> Internet Options --> Privacy --> Sites --> (Add a few sites)
After some research it seems that ultimately these settings reside in the registry places like:
I've seen a few posts about creating a batch/vb script that sets all the right key's values to the appropriate setting and then somehow running it on every machine...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\(I see Keys with Values, for some not all of the parameters normally in "Trusted Sites --> Custom Level")
What I really need is an automated way to control these settings for all the PCs in the network.
I have also looked into the "Group Policy Editor" run --> gpedit.msc:
Administrative Templates --> Windows Components --> Internet Explorer
How does one go about using a group policy to solve this need?
Really appreciate any input,
Liam
