Can someone tell me if it’s possible to retrieve Internet Explorer setting for a remote user or even better compare two user’s Internet Explorer setting?
I have the following script that only works on current user, but I would like to run it against a remote user to troubleshoot some issues we are running into with DLP and internet sites.
Also, does anyone see a problem with Internet Explorer Connection Settings in this script, as it is not returning any information.
Thanks.
