I try to do 2 things on our computers (XP Pro, IE7 and IE8) through
GPO.
1- In IE, Internet Options, Security tab, force the Trusted sites
security
level to be set to Low and unallow users to change it.
2- Add websites in the list of Trusted sites zone.
Unfortunately, what I did is not working.
Even if I have installed the adm template for IE8 for the Group
Policies
(win2003).
The GPO is reaching the target computers because some parts of the GPO
are
applied (ex: add default favorites...). Only what I tell up here is
not
working.
Here is the GPO (last way I did it. I tried a lot of configurations):
