So I've been trying to set the IE10 homepage through a group policy on our Server 2008 DCs with not luck.
I have tried this method which some people said worked
http:/
and changing the max to 11.0.0.0 or 10.5.0.0 with no luck.
Finally I came up with my own workaround and thought I'd share.
Create a GPO
Go to
User Configuration -> Preferences -> Windows Settings -> Registry
Right Click and Create a New -> Registry Item
Set the Following Properties
Action: Update
Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key Path: Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
Value name: Start Page
Value type: REG_SZ
Value data: YOUR WEBSITE URL
Worked for me instantly on the next login. Hope that works for everyone else!
Cheers.
