This IE setting can be applied via "policy mode" or "preferences mode". Policy mode is what you normally think of when configuring GPO settings in that it'll be reset if a user ever changes it. Preferences mode only changes the initial value but allows the user to change it afterwards if they like without having it switch back each time GPOs are applied. Instead, it is only reset if the GPO itself is modified.
Also, if by chance you're using NT authentication to browse to that homepage be sure the web servers and DCs servicing them can support the load. You might also consider anonymous access to the homepage itself and then authentication to the sites off it. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Larry Wahlers > Sent: Monday, July 24, 2006 10:34 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [ActiveDir] Reset home page via GPO > > Hello, colleagues, > > Our HR department wants everybody's IE home page reset to our > intranet home page.
