Hi-
I'm not sure if this is important or not, but I recently ran a Group Policy RSOP and received the following error:
Event ID 7016

I have Internet Explorer Branding enabled - but as all of my servers and clients are Windows 8 and Server 2012 now, I can't get in to the Group Policy items anymore to see the branding.
Is there any way to strip out the old IE Branding information from existing Group Policy Objects? I just want to remove it at this point - I don't want to change it or anything, just to get rid of it. It serves no purpose anymore.
BTW - the closest thing I could find to information on this error is this KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2813272
It doesn't seem to really help me with the problem that I'm having though. Thanks for any help that you can provide!
