Hi

I think what you should do is:
Create a new GPO and apply it to the domain/site/OU as you reqqire.
The settings to change should be:

User Configuration\Internet Explorer Maintenance\Security\Security Zones and
Content
Also I think the machine it applies to must have IE ESC enabled (Enhanced
Security Configuration)

Hope this helps.

Hello,

Internet Explorer Maintenace have several issues, because of that and if you
are using XP with SP2 is preferable to add trusted sites thru Site to Zone
Assignment List

You can found it under
User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components |
Internet Explorer | Internet Control Panel | Security Page

If you are not using XP with SP2 you have to use Internet Explorer
Maintenance like huff-n-puff wrote.

You dont need IE ESC enabled (Enhanced Security Configuration).This happen
if you are configure your GPO thru your DC or other machine using Windows
Server 2003. Internet Explorer Maintence import your Browser Settings, so
configure your GPO thru one of your client machines.

Thanks - I've done that, and put them in the Trusted Sites area, but as
well - did Site to Zone mapping in there somewhere, and neither of those
work. Did all sorts of tests with adding trusted sites (then testing),
restricted sites (then tested), and couldn't get it to affect properly.
I even tried the Resultant Group Policy tool, and it looked like it made
the appropriate reg entries, but just no love.

I've just ended up uninstalling this "enhanced security" feature in
Add/Remove (I didn't know it was even an option in there, otherwise I
would have ditched it earlier).

Thanks for your response.
