We are in the process of rolling out IE 10 on Windows 7 to replace IE 8.
The first thing we noticed is that the default settings after installing on a PC makes IE 10 almost unusable on the Internet. I reminds me of "Enhanced Security Configuration" on a server although not quite as severe.
I installed IE10 on a workstation and then went to the Microsoft download site to download install RSAT tools and none of the links to download worked.
Users cannot even log into OWA webmail because javascript is disabled.
One fix is to add sites to the Trusted Zone, but since so many sites don't work, users would need to manually add almost every site they need into the Trusted Zone, so it would kind of defeat the purpose if they have 50 or 100 sites added to Trusted Sites and this issue will generate a lot of help desk calls with so many sites broken.
Another issue is than we cannot load sites with SSL certificates from untrusted certificate authorities even if we click past the first warning. Page cannot be displayed. We cannot even get to the point of manually importing the certificate into the list of trusted root CAs on that workstation. The only workaround to this is to use another browser such as Chrome or Firefox.
I have used IE10 in other environments and my home PC without it being so difficult to deal with and sometimes we can get around these issues by doing a "Reset" in the Advanced tab in Internet Options, so this makes me think there is a group policy enabled on the domain that is making the Internet Zone overly restricted and the policy is being reapplied a few minutes after doing the IE reset.
We would like to disable these enhanced security settings so IE 10 is as functional on the web as other browsers.
Does anyone know which settings may be causing this issue so we can create or edit a group policy to stop this problem?
