However I cannot configure TIF to check
for newer version of stored pages on every visit unless I am in preference
mode. Do you know of another way?

Yes, you've got it right and it
makes total sense. The combination of IE Maintenance and IE related ADM
lockdown is the correct approach for controlling IE. However, if you really
don't want the user to change their IE settings you don't really need
preference mode. It is really meant for "suggestive" settings rather
than mandatory ones.

OK, lets try this, If I configure in Preference mode
all the URL's, the
Security Settings, Privacy settings and Advanced Settings, they all get
applied one time. Preference mode basically means "I would like for
you
to have these settings but feel free to change them". Since we then
cannot enforce these settings, we then used the ADM templates to lock
down the settings that we have configured. For example, URL for
homepage is configured in Preference Mode and then in the ADM we
configure the ADM to disable changing the homepage to lock it down.
Does this make sense?

SO let me see if I understand you here. If I am in Preference mode and
I configure IE to check for newer versions automatically and I configure
the home URL in the same policy, will users be able to change the home
URL if I locked it down in the Administrative Templates section of the
policy? If the URL does happen to get changed on the local machines IE
Properties will the policy change it back? I read somewhere that in
Preference Mode, the policy will apply only once and then each time you
change a setting. So if the Home page changes, the home page will not
be reset unless you actually modify the policy. Is this correct?
If I have a separate policy just for preference mode of the IE
Maintenance section and only configure the advanced settings that are
added by doing this and I have my regular policy that modifies all other
aspects of IE Maintenance, will inheritance work and the client get the
settings from both policies with nothing being overwritten?

Sometimes I really wonder who writes some of these KB articles--and do
they get vetted for readability? I agree with you Justin. Totally
non-sensical. I'm not sure what they're trying to say but the bottom
line is, when you use preference mode, you have to additionally lockdown
the areas that you specify in IE Maintenance using Admin. Template
policy if you really don't want the user to change the setting after its
initially been delivered.
In any case, what happens when you enable Preference mode is you get
this additional set of ADMs that are loaded into the IE Maintenance
namespace. Specifically inetcorp.adm and inetset.adm. However, these
ADMs haven't been updated in a while and in the testing I've done,
certain things just don't work in IE6--like specifying IE TIF size.
However, I did just test the setting you are interested in within
inetcorp.adm and it works just fine on IE 6.

An administrator must also combine GPOs, an organizational unit, a user,
or a computer by implementing both a Preference mode and a MAINTENANCE
MODE GPO.
I don't understand this comment in the article.
Does anyone have any insight?

How can you configure "Check for newer versions of stored pages" to
Automatically through Group Policy?
