Managing internet Explorer 10/11 settings with local policy editor

Hi,

We want to manage the internet explorer settings for IE10 and IE11 on Windows 7 computers. The local Policy "Internet Explorer maintenance" is gone with these versions and the new way to configure IE is with Group Policy on a domain. The environnement of where the computers are installed is not on a domain. Is there any way to configure this with the local Policy editor ?

I find this in group policy in the same location as local policy..

User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer

Ok, I installed it. I saw that it creates a package of my settings.
How do I import these settings into the target computer ?

It's probably by executing the IE11-Setup-Branding.exe or the .msi package

I testing as well because I was looking for this as well. Probably have to deploy the msi package.

I test this on a workstation and it worked; it propagated the configurations to the workstation once install. The only problem I ran into when I made our company's site our home page it had the company's site and MSN.
