Can't Remove IE Maintenance settings from group policy

Hi,

In group policy under IE Maintenance I configured some settings like home page and proxy settings etc, now I removed all settings from group policy, I cleared every thing but still I can see the IE settings under group policy.

1)automatically detect settings Disabled
2)automatic browser configuration Not configured.

Now the problem is I am giving some proxy settings in IE manually when I restarted the system proxy settings are getting empty and again I have to give them.

Please tell the procedure to remove IE Maintenance completely from group policy.

can anybody please help me to solve this issue.

Thanks in advance for your valuable support.

Hi,

If GPO settings are not removed completely or settings were not saved correctly, this issue may occur.

Let’s try to check if Registry settings was changed when changing IE proxy settings.

1. Open IE and change proxy settings. Click OK to apply.
2. Open "regedit", navigate to
HKCU\software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Int ernet Settings

In the right panel, are Proxy settings correct?

3. Log off and test. If the issue persists, please help to collect gpresult log.
Run "gpresult /v >>c:\gpresult.log", send gpresult.log to tfwst@microsoft.com.

4. On DC, open GPO, navigate to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Group Policy,
Double-click Internet Explorer Maintenance policy processing, Make sure it’s Note Configured or Disabled.

Navigate to IE Maintenance, right-click Internet Explorer Maintenance, choose Reset Browser settings. Delete all file in the following folder.
\\FQDN\Sysvol\FQDN\Policies\<GPOGUID>\User\Microso ft\IEAK

Note: Replace FQDN and <GPOGUID> accordingly.

5. On client, delete files in the following folder.

%windir%\System32\GroupPolicy\User\Microsoft\IEAK

Documents and Settings\<<username>>\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Custom Settings\Custom0\

Documents and Settings\<<username>>\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\pbk\Rasphone.pb k (for connection settings)

Thanks.
