GPOs (Group Policy Objects) allow us to do a one-to-many administration of our clients. The question is why do we need ActiveX group policy objects for IE.

The ActiveX GPO settings allow you to control what type of ActiveX controls your users can instal, and from where. By designatation ActiveX restriction in your IE trusted zones, you can make sure that your ActiveX controllers are properly tested prior to allowing them to be installed on your clients.

This week I instructed my first class using Windows Server 2012 accessed via LogMeIn and discovered a Sticky Key problem every time you press the Shift key. Here is my solution to resolve this. First off, in the Preferences of LogMeIn for the connection to the Windows Server, click General . Change the Keyboard and mouse priority to Host side user and click Apply at the bottom. On the Windows 2012 server, open the Control Panel – Ease of Access – Change how your keyboard works . Uncheck Turn on Sticky Keys . Click Set up Sticky Keys . Uncheck Turn on Sticky Keys when SHIFT is pressed five times . Click OK twice. If you are using Windows Server 2012 as a Hyper-V host, you will need to redo the Easy of Use settings on each guest operating system in order to avoid the Sticky Key Problem. Updated Information: March 20, 2013 If you continue to have problems, Uncheck Turn on Filter Keys .
