We have an app that needs specific settings and requires IE9, but we want to keep our workstations up to date with IE11. I'd like to virtualize an instance of IE9 that adheres to the specific policies we set. We have an Internet Explorer GPO that sets certain settings on the user workstations and I want to keep this virtual IE9 separate from that.
I create my package of IE9 and it deploys and seems to run fine. However when I launch it on a computer that gets our standard IE group policy, it seems to take the workstation GPO's and apply it to the virtual instance. For instance when I launch the virtual IE9 it does load IE9 but if I check the settings by going to Settings > Internet Options it tells me that settings are managed by the system administrator. I think it's just going to the local control panel and I can't tell if it's actually using the settings I set when I packaged it or if it's adhering to the workstation's IE GPO.
Can I completely encapsulate an instance of IE9 with its own settings while ignoring our standard GPO's for IE and run in alongside IE 11?
I've tried the changes here but it didn't seem to work. Maybe it did but trying to get to Internet Options through IE always takes me to the end-user control panel? ThinApp and Group Policy | VMware ThinApp Blog - VMware Blogs
Thanks in advance.
