how to block inheritance to default policy
Modifying the default GPO is a drag beyond the requirements for all users such as security settings and shouldnt be blocked even for Admins. If IE changes need to be made create two GPOs for the different groups and the IE settings and remove the IE settings in the default GPO after you have applied the new GPOs. You are correct the ie.adm is setup to have one HomePage.. To Create the IE Home Page GPOs// Using the Administrative ToolsOpen GPO Managment from administrative tools > right click on your domain > Create a GPO in this domain, and link it here > Name the GPO IE-YourExtension so you know the purpose of the GPO > // Edit GPO to include new Home PageRight Click on your new GPO and choose Edit > Choose User Configuration > Windows settings > Internet Explorer Maintenance > URLs > Important URLs > Customize Home Page URL > Enter your new Home Page URL > Click OK > Click the X oin the Top Right of the Page and Close the Managment Editor// Modify the Scope of how where the GPO is appliedClick on Group Policy Objects > Click on your new GPO > Chose Scope Add > Enter the Group or Users that should have the GPO applied > Remove the Authenticated Users// QA the GPORight Click on GPO Modeling > GPO Modeling Wizard > Next > Choose your Domain, Next > Choose a User on whom the Scope has been applied, Click CheckBox to Skip to the final Page, Next > Next > Finish > Show All > Has the GPO been applied, if yes go to settings > Show All > you should see the Home Page URL...Repeat the above stpes for the other home page, then login as a test user and open IE to see the results...Note the above steps are complete when using Windows server 2008 R2 and may varey slightly if deployed on a different OS........-IvanIvan Sanders My LinkedIn Profile, My Blog, @iasanders.
