Hello,
We have a GPO set for computer configuration, applied at top of domain level, that sets Site To Zone assignments for many sites. Our users log onto a 2012 R2 remote desktop deployment with user profile disks (essentially roaming profiles). ESC is turned off on each of the servers in the pool.
Until recently, this GPO was working fine, but for most (if not all) users, the GPO is now seen to apply but the sites do not appear in IE under any zone.
If the user logs into the server whilst they have admin privileges, turns ESC on, and then back off through server manager, the sites all of a sudden appear in IE control panel. This then seems to follow them when logging into other servers, and cures the issue.
This is obviously not a workable solution for all 250 users in our org, so am hoping someone may be able to assist with diagnosing this? I wonder if there was some Windows update that has messed with the ESC config in the registry somehow, which caused this?
Cheers, Eds
