GPO Reporting tools show differences between polices on a computer that is running Windows Internet Explorer 7 and polices on a computer that is running earlier versions of Internet Explorer
The Group Policy object (GPO) Reporting tools show differences between polices on a computer that
is running Windows Internet Explorer 7 and polices on a computer that is
running earlier versions of Internet Explorer.
Some Group Policy functionality has been enhanced in
Internet Explorer 7 for Microsoft Windows XP and in Internet Explorer 7 in
Windows Vista. These enhancements may cause GPO reporting tools to
show the following issues:
- When polices that applied to earlier versions of Internet
Explorer are applied on computers that are running Internet Explorer 7, GPO
Reporting tools show that some policies are disabled.
You can use a set
of Internet Explorer policies to prevent a user from changing
the state of a feature. You cannot use these polices to turn on or to turn off
a feature. These policies were originally created for an
earlier version of Internet Explorer. If you apply these policies on a computer that is running Internet
Explorer 7, GPO reporting tools indicate that these polices are disabled. For
example, this issue applies to the following policies:
- Disable AutoComplete for forms
- Turn on the auto-complete feature for user names and
passwords on forms
- When some policies that originally applied to earlier
versions of Internet Explorer are applied on computers that are running
Internet Explorer 7, GPO Reporting tools show that some extra registry keys
have been created. These extra keys have blank values. You can configure these policies to specify a registry value for these extra
keys when you apply the policies on a computer that is running Internet Explorer
7. However, the
values for the extra registry keys remain blank. The
status of the policy is shown correctly. For example, this issue applies to the following policies:
- Disable changing home page settings
- Disable configuring history
- Check for signatures on downloaded programs
APPLIES TO
- Windows Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP
- Windows Internet Explorer 7 for Windows Server 2003
- Windows Internet Explorer 7 for Windows Server 2003 IA64

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
