How to Configure Internet Explorer 10 for Enterprise Web Applications

Ever since we upgraded Internet Explorer to version 10, we have received a lot of complaints that quite a few enterprise web applications did not run properly any more. I have helped my users to configure Internet Explorer 10 so that they can use these web applications again. Since almost all the applications were developed before Internet Explorer 10, the first thing we tried to configure were the compatibility view settings. This would fix most of the problems. If this still did not work for some applications, the next thing to try was to configure the trusted site settings. Here are the steps. Remember to replace yourcompany.com with the domain name of your enterprise applications.

Configuring Compatibility View Settings

1. Press Alt key to bring up menu bar if it’s not showing.
2. Click on Tools -> Compatibility View Settings.
3. Enter yourcompany.com in the “Add this website” box and click on Add.
4. Click on Close.

Configuring Trusted Sites

1. Press Alt key to bring up menu bar if it’s not showing.
2. Click on Tools -> Internet options.
3. Click on Security tab and select Trusted sites.
4. Click on Sites.
5. Enter *.yourcompany.com in the “Add this website to the zone” box and click on Add.
6. Click on Close to close Trusted sites dialog.
7. Click on OK to close Internet Options.
