Working on Domain with main DC and Backup DC serving XP clients. The problem is we need to set a permanent homepage for all users. (Permanent in that users cannot change it but admin can.) I used the Default Domain policy to set the home page url using Additional settings included : Enabling Internet explorer maintenance policy processing and enabling enabling all options for Internet control panel (under user configuration->Admin templates->windows components- Internet explorer) Rsop shows Default Domain policy set but setting is not taking effect. Additionally all clients seem to have the same home page url. I haven't checked the local policy on the machines (because I thought GP is higher and will take precedence right?) Also if any one has a clue how policy mode and preference mode fits into all this, plz drop a hint. Thanks
