IE11 Compatibility View / Enterprise Mode

Method 1


First download from Microsoft the "Enterprise Mode Site List Manager"


Start the tool and Add your site.  When done, click File and select Save to XML .


Copy your XML to a network location that is available to everybody. 
\\SERVERNAME\Sysvol\DOMAINNAME\Policies\file.XML 


In a GPO navigate to:
User Configuration-Policies-Administrative Templates-Windows Components-Internet Explorer


In the right pane, enable the setting "Use the Enterprise Mode IE website list"


Enter the full URL to your XML file:
\\SERVERNAME\Sysvol\DOMAINNAME\Policies\file.XML 


File can be entered in the following different formats, all depends on how and where you want to store it on your network.  Just be sure that everybody and all devices has access to the location.

• HTTP location: “SiteList”=”http://localhost:8080/sites.xml”
• Local network: "SiteList"="\\network\shares\sites.xml"
• Local file: "SiteList"="file:///c:\\Users\\<user>\\Documents\\testList.xml"

If you do not see the Enterprise Mode IE11 settings in your Group Policy.  Make sure you have IE11 installed on a Win7 or 8.1 workstation, copy the inetres.admx and .adml files from the workstation to the Sysvol folder on the network.


Method 2


This is an older method but still works.  It allows the user to see what your GPO has put there and does not override the users' settings.

1.    In Windows 2008 DC, open IE and add the web site to the Compability View Settings list

2.    You can verify the setting in the registry key path HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet  Explorer\BrowserEmulation\ClearableListData\UserFilter

3.      Open Group Policy Management Editor for Domain Policy that you want to edit.

You can open it from mmc and then Add or Remove Snap-ins

Choose Group Policy Management Editor 

4.      Choose path from either Computer configuration or User Configuration as below

5.    Computer or User Configuration->Preference->Windows Setting->Registry

6.    Right click New->Registry Wizard

7.      Select local machine and then check HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\BrowserEmulation\ClearableListData\UserFilter.

Note: If use Computer Configuration, check registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

8.    Finish the change

9.      Run gpupdate /force in DC

10.Run gpupdate /force in client machine or re-login
