We currently have a single 2012 R2 server in our domain. As we're rolling out Windows 8+ machines I like using it for Group Policy Management.

For some reason the Group Policy Management Console on this server doesn't show the "Show/Hide" links in the Settings tab, so I can't fold and unfold the sections.

GPMC Win2012

When I hover my mouse over the title bar of a section it turns to the pointing hand as if it's a link I can click, but it does nothing.

The links show and work as expected in the GPMC on our Win2008 R2 servers:

GPMC Win2008

All systems are up-to-date with Windows/IE updates.

Is there some way I can get the links to show up on the 2012 server?

Disable Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration (ESC) in Server Manager.

    Or use GPMC remotely from a workstation. Friends don't let friends install GUI on a server. ;) Commented May 12, 2015 at 14:16

    Interesting. It was already disabled. I enabled and then disabled it again and that fixed it. Weird. Thanks though! :) Commented May 12, 2015 at 15:19

You can also add "about:security_mmc.exe" to the Trusted Sites of Internet Explorer to correct the issue.

  • Good idea, but how can this be done by GPO for example? Commented Jul 17, 2020 at 13:16
