IE GPO, default start page plus users extra start pages
Hi
We have 3 DC's.
One 2012 PDC
Two 2012 R2
We had a default start page set for IE, this worked until users got IE 9, 10 or 11.
Start Page: http://intranet.company.com
We now want to edit our GPO to add the start page as the default for all users.
However with the new setting users are not allowed to have their additional Start pages. Users often start's up with 3-4 or more tabs, and there's way to many varieties to set this in a GPO.
Is it possible with IE 9,10 or 11 to set http://intranet.company.com as the users default homepage, and allow them to set their own additional ones ?
Regards.

Hi
That's how it worked previously, but that's no longer supported.
IEM(Internet Explorer Maintnance) is depicated in 2012 and above as i've understood.
Yet to find a way to accomplish this using Internet Settings or the templates.

I'm pretty sure the only way to do it now, is to repackage IE using The IEAK from Microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40903
You can setup IE the way you want from there.
