Best Practices

The following are best practices for configuring Internet Explorer for deployment:

  • In a homogeneous Windows XP Professional network with Active Directory, use Group Policy to manage Internet Explorer settings.

  • In heterogeneous networks with different versions of Windows and Internet Explorer, use IEAK Profile Manager to create .ins files, load those .ins files on a Web server, and then configure automatic configuration in Internet Explorer.
