I have seen various ways to do this with SCCM, and I am a fan of simple solutions.  Microsoft has provided a Microsoft Fix It link within this article:  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2579295#phrss .  The awesome part is that the link runs an MSI.  MSI installers are a perfect item to package up in SCCM for easy distribution! Here is the summary of how I set it up for one of my customers: Create a Collection of Workstations with IE9 installed Package the MSI downl...
