IE10 GPO administrative templates for MS 2008R2 DC
Hi Guys,
With Microsoft changing the home page location for Internet Explorer 10, it has caused some confusion.
The system here is all 2008R2 servers including the DC's and we have windows 7 and 8 clients and a mix of internet explorer.
The issue is that there are no references to Internet Explorer 9, 10 or 11 under preferences -> Control Panel Settings -> Internet Settings, only 5and 6, 7 ,8.
I have downloaded the inetres.admx files for Internet Explorer 10 from Microsoft and updated the inetres.admx in the central store.
However the GPMC still only shows 5 and 6, 7, 8 versions of Internet Explorer.
Do I need to update the GPMC as well? or should the 2008R2 version of GPMC show the later versions on internet explorer when the inetres.admx file is updated ?
All GPO editing is being done on the 2008R2 DC.
Thanks

Hi Cliff,
Thanks for the info. I neglected to mention that I have already updated the inetres.adml file in the en-us folder in the central store. Sorry about that.
I have checked to make sure and the inetres.adml is dated 2/01/2013 where the default files are 6/07/2010/

Final analysis of the issue is this....
The admx and adml file in the central store needed to be updated.
However you can not see the extra options in the GPMC on 2008R2 or windows 7.1.
Once the admx and adml files have been updated, you need to access a 2012 version of GPMC on Windows 8 or Server 2012 to see and set the IE10 settings in Group Policy.
