Hi Folks,
today you’re often faced with IE compatibility issues – and of course with the technical solution of these problems.
Via GPO you’ve an easy way to roll-out compatiblity-view Settings in your Domain. You can set these values for machine and user context. Take a look at the users and computers settings.
Browse to:
User Configuration -> Policies -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Internet Explorer -> Compatibility View
Policy: “Use Policy List of Internet Explorer 7 sites / Richtlinienliste von Internet Explorer 7 Sites verwenden”
When using the policy take care of following points:
- For IE8 there must be specified domain name and not server or subdomain name, ie “dargel.at” instead of “blog.dargel.at”
- For IE9 there must be specified domain name or subdomain name, ie “dargel.at” or “blog.dargel.at”
- There must be no final slash “/” , ie “dargel.at” instead of “dargel.at/”
- These settings are used, but are not visible in the user GUI
FYI: The list ends up in the following registry key configured:
HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Browser Emulation\Policy List
and contains for each configured domain a REG_SZ value.
Cheers,
Chris
