Authentication Dialog pops up after IE11 Upgrade

We did some IE upgrading tests (from IE8 to IE11 using Fixlets) on some clients and noticed the following problem.

1. Upgrade to IE11 by Fixlet 2. IE pops up authentication dialog after upgrade (we can access/use ineternet after entering domain user account)

***** these are only presumption *****

  1. After upgrading to IE11, some components will be downloaded automatically
  2. At the first connection after apgrade, it uses install user (= local system account) for accessing to MS site
    ----> proxy pops up the authentication dialog
    *it requires domain user to access to the external sites via proxy

If we manually upgrade it, it doesn’t pop up the authentication dialog.
So, we think this behavior depends on user account at installation.

Is there any way to suppress the authentication dialog?

Thank you,
Eri

Try to do the upgrade on the command line using PSExec to see if you can accomplish it without this issue. That should create an environment most similar to how BigFix runs the installation.

Try installing it without checking for updates. You’d have to make a copy of the Fixlet into a custom site, then modify the command line installer. See the /update-no option at https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn321443.aspx

Thanks for your updates.
I will try installing it with the option and let you know the results.
