Here is a basic question. Which should I use, IEAK or Group Policy or how are they related?
I have a bunch of Windows 7 IE 9 users who have proxy settings, default favorites, and maybe some other settings set via Group Policy with Server 2008 R2 and Server 2003 R2 domain controllers. Some users upgraded to IE 10 and subsequently discovered that the favorites and proxy settings (or any Internet Explorer settings?) do not work through Group Policy.
So, I read that one can use 'Group Policy preferences', but doing that will require running Group Policy from an upgraded Windows 7 machine or something like that because the domain controllers can't recognize IE10 or higher. But then, I also see that there is this Internet Explorer Administration Kit which can supposedly set various configuration items.
So, what will work? Do they work together? What gives?
I want to set IE configuration of Windows 7 machines with IE 9 or 10.
