Compatibility

IE URL Lock is known to work with the following configurations

• Without Active Directory
  • Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2 with Internet Explorer 6 or 7
  • IE URL Lock deployment
    • Local
      • Double-click on the Windows Installer (MSI) file and follow the on-screen instructions
    • Remote
      • Copy an installed "\Program Files\IE URL Lock" folder to a target computer
      • Import the remote deployment registry file into that computer's registry
  • IEs for Linux with Internet Explorer 5, 5.5, or 6, which uses Wine
    • To install, run the following command, adjusting the path as necessary for the different IE versions. The license agreement does not appear, but it will install if you accept it anyway
      • export WINEPREFIX=~/.ies4linux/ie6; msiexec /i ~/IEURLLock-1.0.3.3.msi
    • Note that I haven't tried to configure IE URL Lock in IEs for Linux. Wine doesn't ship with gpedit.msc by default. Configuration will be possible when the new XULRunner-based configuration tool is released. For now, manual tweaking of the registry should permit you configure IE URL Lock in IEs for Linux
• With Active Directory
  • Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2 with Internet Explorer 6 or 7
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP1
  • IE URL Lock deployment
    • Computer-based policy (assigned): Installation and uninstallation when affected computers are rebooted
    • User-based policy
      • Assigned: Install at user logon is required. Uninstallation does not appear to always work when logging on as a user who does not have IE URL Lock in the user policy, even when the "Uninstall this application when it falls out of the scope of management" option is selected (am I doing something wrong? Please let me know :-)
      • Published: Installation and uninstallation via "Add New Programs" in "Add or Remove Programs" works properly

IE URL Lock should work with the following configurations

• Microsoft Windows 2000
  • Use the IEURLLock-2000.adm group policy template instead of IEURLLock.adm. The Windows 2000 version lacks built-in documentation, though you can refer to this web site for the parameter and value meanings
• Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
  • Without Active Directory, of course
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01
• Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium
  • Only when used with version 1.0.3.3 or earlier. Newer versions presently are incompatible with Windows Vista's new event log API. Version 1.0.3.3 and earlier don't use the event log.
  • This OS apparently does not ship with gpedit.msc
  • In versions after 1.0.3.3, including the latest version, an error gets displayed on startup, which I plan to fix with the upcoming release: "IEURLLock Error: Access is denied."

IE URL Lock will not work with the following configurations

• Microsoft Windows 95, 98, 98SE, and ME
• Microsoft Windows CE
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.00 or below
