Last week I set a new IE home page through group policy (User Config\Windows Settings\Internet Explorere Maintenance\URLS/Important URLs) and added a couple sites the the IE Favorites. Seem to be fine, so I pushed it out. Shortly after people started saying that they couldn't log into secure sites. I found that for some reason this wiped out everything in each users trusted sites and blocked their ability to add individually. Removing the policy didn't fix. So, I've made a mad scrample to add the most important sites manually through the GPO, but why would this happen? I've seen on some posts that this is by design, but is there a way to do both. I can add, but still allow users add also?
Another affect of this is that some users have lost the ability to open hyperlinks from Outlook. Says that they are unable to open because of administrator restrictions. Is there a GPO setting for this?
Any help is MUCH appreciated.
