We are working on a new domain and I'm trying to figure out how to populate the default Home page, Trusted Sites and the Proxy now that Microsoft has removed the IEM from the GPO's.
I have created a standalone policy that only has these items set in the User Configuration Preferences and the settings are not updating for my test user account on the test system. I see the policy is being applied without any errors. The only other GPO that is being applied to this system is the Default Domain Policy and it is at the default settings.
Why would Microsoft take away such a basic and fundamental administrative function? I'm trying to figure this out before all support ends for the older versions of IE in January, 2016. I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to get this configured so I don't have to touch every system.
