Network environment: Windows 2008 R2 w/ IE 11, Windows 7 w/ IE 9, and few Windows 8 w/ IE 11
We don't plan to upgrade to 2012 anytime soon, and access to Windows 8 machine is limited, so ideally, it's best to manage GP from either 2008 or 7 machine. Currently, when I try to create a new IE GP from our 2008 DC, it only gives me the option of up to Internet 8, and I can't figure out why some policies apply and some don't. For example, one for creating various URL favorites works, but one for setting a default home page doesn't. Ran GPResult and report shows that both policies applied.
Is it possible for Windows 2008 w/ IE 11 to manage IE 9 and higher? If so, what is needed to add IE 9, 10, 11 as an option in Group Policy Management?
Thanks in advance.
