Question was asked if the registry key can be added instead of the policy.

Answer is, Yes, you can merge the registry key

Sample below:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Setup\8.0]

"DoNotAllowIE80"=dword:00000001

This is a Computer policy. You may have to reboot the client or make sure you log off and log back in.

You can also look under the registry key (hklm) and validate that the key was written, which is all you really need to worry about.

The policy works, if you are doing extra configuration with your policies, that could be interfering with this one, you may want to call MS Support for further assistance.

KEYNAME "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Setup\8.0"

VALUENAME "DoNotAllowIE80"

VALUEON NUMERIC 1

VALUEOFF NUMERIC 0

Hope this helps!

Hi, I applied exactly as a description above.

After I ran gpupdate /force on client machine,

the group policy objects was not applied because they were filtered out.

I applied it to Computer Configurations.

What can be wrong?
