Sigh. I truly wish MS would either fix IE maintenance policy or just kill it because its just the buggiest piece of <insert expletive here> around. Larry, try enabling the following policy on all computers that receive the home page policy--Computer Configuration\Admin Templates\System\Group Policy\IE Maintenance Policy Processing\Process even if the GP objects have not changed.
Give that a go (it may require a couple of logons to trigger) and see if that helps. This is described at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306915/en-us, though I'm not sure why the KB article tells you to tweak the registry directly, since they provide a policy for that very purpose...

I hate to beat this dead horse, but the client wants the "policy mode" enabled. I did that on the DC, did the gpupdate /force, but it's not working. Folks who change the forced IE home page to be their own custom one can reboot their computers, log in, and they still get their custom home page, not the GPO forced home page. Now, I linked the GPO to an OU that has OU's beneath it, one for users, one for admins, one for groups, etc. Group Policy Results Wizard shows that the GPO is a winning GPO, but the actual results are, it is not being enforced. What am I missing here? How can I enforce this GPO so that every time a person logs in, they get the GPO-forced home page?
