Flexible Deployment of Internet Explorer 8
With Internet Explorer 8, organizations will get the exibility they need to deploy Internet Explorer 8 in
ways that make sense for their particular needs. For instance, you can deploy it on its own by using the
publicly available download or creating a custom installation package, and then using one of a variety
of deployment services, such as Microsoft Active Directory® directory service, Windows Server Update
Services, or Microsoft System Center Conguration Manager. Alternatively, Internet Explorer 8 can be
deployed and customized as part of an operating system image. When Internet Explorer 8 is deployed
in this way, it behaves as part of Windows and cannot be uninstalled by users, thereby improving desk-
top consistency and manageability.
An enhanced Internet Explorer Administrator Kit helps IT professionals more easily congure deploy-
ment settings. Three licensing modes are now provided for the Internet Explorer Administrator Kit to
give IT professionals a version that closely aligns with their needs.
In addition, an enhanced Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) supports new types of events to help
system administrators identify potential compatibility issues. Granular Group Policy settings help IT
professionals address compatibility issues. On intranets, Internet Explorer 8 defaults to the Internet
Explorer 7 rendering mode.
