In IE10 running on Windows 7, how can you load an INS file automatically for any user that logs into a machine?
Prior to IE 10, for any machine-wide options I wanted to set in IE, I would use Internet Explorer Maintenance option in the Group Policy Editor. This has been replaced with IE Administrative Templates and/or the IE10 Administration Kit. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj890998.aspx:
In earlier versions of the Windows® operating system, Internet Explorer Maintenance (IEM) could be used to configure a subset of Internet Explorer 10 settings in an environment using Group Policy. In Windows® 8, the IEM settings have been deprecated in favor of Group Policy Preferences, Administrative Templates (.admx), and the Internet Explorer Administration Kit 10 (IEAK 10).
I downloaded and ran the IEAK, generating an INS file containing all the options I wanted to set (Homepage, Custom Favorites, Proxy Settings, etc) with no problems.
How can I automatically load this INS file for all users that log onto the machine? I thought there was a setting in the IE Administrative Template for me to set the Use Custom Configuration Script, but I cannot find it.
Some Important Details I am in a lab setting with all machines on a domain. I AM NOT a domain admin, but my domain account has admin rights on all the machines. I can (and do) use the local Group Policy Editor to set several options for the machines. The machines (and the users who log on) have read access to a file server.
