Use this guide to learn about the several options and processes you'll need to consider while you're using the Internet Explorer Administration Kit 11 (IEAK 11) to customize, deploy, and manage Internet Explorer 11 for your employee's devices.

Included technology

IEAK 11 includes the following technology:

After these packages are installed on your user's desktop, the user receives customized versions of Internet Explorer 11, with the settings and options you selected through the wizard.
  • Windows Installer (MSI). IEAK 11 supports creating an MSI wrapper for your custom Internet Explorer 11 packages, enabling you to use Active Directory to deploy the package to your user's PC.
  • IEAK Help. IEAK 11 Help includes many conceptual and procedural topics, which you can view from the Index, Contents, or Search tabs. You also have the option to print any topic, or the entire Help library.
