In this tutorial, we will be demonstrating how to deploy Internet Explorer 11 to your machines using Goverlan Scope Actions.
If you have never created a Scope Action before, please refer to the below video and the Scope Action Creation Basics article for more information.
**These tutorials are for demonstration purposes. Please test all Scope Actions before deploying them into production.**
