Hi

Does someone know how to make Internet Explorer start automatically on client machines when they logon to a domain, I cant find the setting in Domain Policy, I have tried the Run these programs at logon( Userconfig-Admin Templates-system-logon) but this does not work

thanks in advance

Im not sure if there is a .adm for that in GPO. If theres not too many users in your domain you could simply add the icon to there startup folder. Alternatively you could also add it to the default user profile on the DC. Thus when any new user logs on they inherit the profile from the DC.

thanks for the quick reply, we have 150 users and we are introducing a company intranet that we would like to auto start when users logon, the intranet is on an internal server with the server name as the intranet address

i will test with the user profile but doubt it

thanks

Well modifying there homepage when IE starts to point to the intranet is relatively simple and can be done from Group policy.

should be a simple matter of scripting to place IE in the startup folder on every pc so it auto starts or make it part of the logon script which the last thing is IE starts

Imagine the power of knowing how to internet search
