Administrative Templates for Internet Explorer 11

I am trying to apply some Group policy Settings for IE11.

I have downloaded the latest Admin Templates and copied the inetres.admx and inetres.adml files over to Policy Definitions folder.

When I create a new GPO under :-

User Configuration>Control Panel Settings> Internet Settings

When I attempted to click on New, I only saw options for

Internet Explorer  5 and 6

Internet Explorer  7

Internet Explorer  8  and 9

Internet Explorer  10

BUT not Internet Explorer 11

Can anyone advise where I am going wrong?

HI Simple answer is you wont see IE 11 mentioned, configure IE10 preferences to your liking which will affect IE11 also.

I agree with Alex, when you use GPP-IE10, it also applies to IE11.

Thanks for the clarification guys.

Just another quick question.

Under the Security tab for IE 10 Properties, I am unable to add website addresses as the Sites button is greyed out.

Will there be a reason for this?

If you are wanting to deliver Site-to-Zone mappings (e.g. place a particular website/URL pattern into a zone like Trusted Sites), these articles show how. GPP-Internet-Settings can't directly do the site-to-zone mappings, but you can do it with GPP-Registry).
This is how we are doing it here.
