Terminate, It's pretty easy to run programs in compatibility mode. Find the executable, right click, and go to properties. There should be a Compatibility tab. There should be a drop list of OSes. It's probably a good idea to make sure you are running the program as Administrator as well. Hope...

For anyone who is looking, I found a work-around and posted it in the above thread. The problem, it seems, was Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration... So secure, I had to turn it off. -gmiles

After realizing how widespread this problem was (out of 13 machines, 10 had it), I did some comparisons in configurations between machines. It turns out the culprit is Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration. I uninstalled it for Administrators on a couple of affected machines, and I...

I'm afraid that didn't do the trick. I'd already checked the first thing the mentioned, which doesn't seem to apply ti 2003 Server since none of the registry keys were there. Changing User Authentication was promising, but did not work unfortunately. Thanks for the link though. -gmiles

Smah, That tool doesn't seem to have anything related to allowing scripts to run on pages or permitting adding sites to the "Trusted Sites" zone. I've tried adding sites manually with registry keys, and they will show up in the (grayed out, un-editable) Trusted Sites zone dialog, but it still...

Thanks for the help. Resetting IE didn't do the trick. I've opened a thread over at the 2003 forum about the issue: http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1386179&page=1 Googling that I've done while I've experienced this problem indicates that similar problems happen on XP and Vista, but...

Hi all, I've noticed this now with a couple of machines. When I open up Internet Options and go into Security, I get a little yellow bar at the bottom that warns me that "Some settings are managed by your system administrator." This prevents me from adding Trusted Sites, change site policies...

XP is not involved at all. It is just IE7 running on a virtual 2003 machine. That being said, I've just noticed that I have the same problem on a physical 64-bit Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition machine. I was going to download some updates from Microsoft, and IE7 gives me the dread "Some...

The virtual server (Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition R2) is running inside another Windows 2003 EE R2 host. XP isn't involved at all. We're using Microsoft Virtual Server 2005R2. At this point, I'd definitely rather be running VMware, since it seems to do virtualization a fair bit better, but...

Hi all, We want to push the KB903234 patch to our users via our WSUS 2.0 server, which is running Server 2003. WSUS wasn't released via Windows Update, and so the WSUS server never saw it and pulled it in. Is there a way to get the WSUS server to push this patch? Thanks, -gmiles

Linney, Thanks for the help, but this machine is running 2003 Server EE. Nothing seems to be applied in Group Policy settings, and the machine is a brand new VM, so malware isn't really a possibility, since other clones have behaved fine. I can't really shut it down, since it's production...

Linney, Thanks for the tip, but that didn't do the trick either. That certainly is an interesting place to put IE7 with no add-ons. -gmiles

I have the same problem on a Windows Server 2003 machine, and have seen it replicated elsewhere. In addition to being unable to change any settings, I can't add trusted sites, allow scripts to run (even at Windows Update), or change security levels. This is becoming very annoying for any number...

Still more potential meanings: Did you mean encrypted? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_encryption Sender verification? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-mail_authentication Something else entirely? -gmiles

Hi all, I've been asked to set up a certain account to add a CC or BCC to every outgoing mail, for what I assume is archiving purposes. This needs to be done at the server level, since the user moves between Outlook, OWA, etc, and as such, some of the solutions like Auto BCC/CC that operate from...
