I've been running into some issues managing the size of the new IE10 WebCache. I am running a terminal services server where the users have local profiles. The users have a disk quota which was previously set to around 20MB. This had always been a sufficient amount prior to IE10.
After the upgrade to IE10 we noticed that many users were suddenly hitting their quota and discovered the culprit, WebCache. Since then I've been looking for ways to manage the size (or existence) of the WebCache, but haven't come across any good solutions.
I have updated my domain controller with the Win 8/Server 2012 policy files and tried the setting which appear to have been created for this purpose. None of these setting seem to do what I am expecting. Here are some of the settings I have enabled under Settng User Configuration/Policies/Admin Templates/Windows Components/Internet Explorer/
- Internet Control Panel/Advanced/Empty Temporary Internet Files... = enabled
- Internet Control Panel/General/Browsing History/Allow sites to store app cache = disabled
- Internet Control Panel/General/Browsing History/Set app cache expiration time limit = enabled (1 day)
- Internet Control Panel/General/Browsing History/Set maximum app cache storage limit all domains = 10MB
- Internet Control Panel/General/Browsing History/Set maximum indexed database all domains = 10MB
Does anyone have any information on what needs to be done to get this new WebCache under control?
