I created a GPO to reset IE. The GPO contains two logon scripts: Script1: "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ie4uinit.exe" -UserIconConfig "C:\Windows\System32\ie4uinit.exe" -BaseSettings "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ie4uinit.exe" -BaseSettings "C:\Windows\System32\ie4uinit.exe" -UserIconConfig "C:\Windows\System32\regsvr32.exe" /s /n /i:/UserInstall C:\Windows\system32\themeui.dll "C:\Windows\System32\regsvr32.exe" /s /n /i:U shell32.dll "C:\Windows\System32\regsvr32.exe" /s /n /i:/UserInstall C:\Windows\system32\themeui.dll "C:\Windows\System32\regsvr32.exe" /s /n /i:U shell32.dll "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\rundll32.exe" C:\Windows\SysWOW64\mscories.dll;Install "C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe" C:\Windows\system32\mscories.dll;Install "C:\Windows\System32\unregmp2.exe" /FirstLogon /Shortcuts /RegBrowsers /ResetMUI "C:\Windows\System32\unregmp2.exe" /FirstLogon /Shortcuts /RegBrowsers /ResetMUI "C:\Program Files\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe" OCInstallUserConfigOE "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe" OCInstallUserConfigOE Script2: Runonce.exe with parameter /AlternateShellStartup Running these allows IE10 to work every time. Why this is needed is beyond me. Some people say it is a registry permissions issue when creating/updating the profile but it happens even for domain admins. All we care is that the users are back testing the new environment.

According to the MS docs the index.dat file for cookie storage was reinstated but only for users with roaming profiles. Do you think maybe you could try and set the user profile state Registry key to 214 (hex) 532 (decimal) in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\[USERSID]\State (it's a DWORD value) just after they log in (but before they launch IE) and see if that makes a difference? Long shot, but that might allow you to spoof a roaming profile type for the session?

I should be able to give this a try myself in a bit - I've been trying to get Microsoft to backtrack on their usage of Jet Blue databases for everything for a while now. There are three in the user profile in Windows 10 as standard.

If you put a file/directory inclusion into UPM for the file, it should work OK I think. Bear in mind it can get quite big though (default is 32MB, I've seen it upwards of 128MB). I'd be interested in hearing more details about this - I'm planning to revisit the whole IE 10 Cookies/History thing soon because I believe some things have now changed.

All servers have been fully patched along with all recommended RDS hotfixes and Citrix hotfixes. Folder Redirection and Citrix User Profile Management are in use. When a user launches IE or a web app that uses IE (some use Firefox and some use Chrome), the first time the app is launched, IE appears to start and then exits. The following event is recorded for each user: taskhostex (6704) WebCacheLocal: Database 'c:\users\cwebster\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache\WebCacheV01.dat': The secondary index 'PartitionIdIndex' of table 'Containers' may be corrupt. If there is no later event showing the index being rebuilt, then please defragment the database to rebuild the index. The second time IE or the app is launched, it runs successfully and any subsequent launches of IE that occur for that user on the same server run with no issues. Once the user exits IE or a web app their local cached profile is deleted. I am wondering if I remove the policy setting to delete the local cached copy of the profile, if that would keep this file from constantly having to be recreated on each server. They only have 75 users so I don't believe the space required for the local cached profiles will be that much. The servers are virtual so additional space can be added to the C drive if needed. Anyone else seen this issue with IE and this WebCacheV01.dat file? The interwebs turn up lots of hits but no real solution yet. Thanks Webster
