IE 11 Default Search Provider Resets After Sysprep
I'm trying to make a Windows 7 Ent. x64 image for deployment but for the life of me I can't get the default search provider to stick after the workstation syspreps. I've followed Microsoft's instructions and added a section in my answer file that adds Google as a search provider, but when I try to set it as the default, it ignores it and sets Bing as the default search provider. Here's what I have in my answer file:
<component name="Microsoft-Windows-IE-InternetExplorer" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

</Scope>
</SearchScopes>
</component>
Any ideas? ScopeDefault = true is the what Microsoft says to use when you are setting the default search provider but it doesn't seem to work for me.
Thanks for any help you guys can give me.
