IE zone setting for share drive on 2003 TS

[baltman]

What do I need to do to have a share recognized as part of a trusted site? The (terminal) server has a company defined default security set-up that we need to work around (e.g. users cannot alter IE security options).

Typically users are double-clicking or applications are shell executing the htm(l) files which are reports that contain scripts that are blocked since the share isn't local.

Is there a simple registry fix in CURRENT USER?

Thank you,
Brian

Why not use a GPO to set that. There is an option for this.

I believe it is the company's standard group policy that we need to work around. This is one server out of thousands and it is highly unlikely an exception will be made. A programatic fix I can apply at login is my best shot at sucess.

Thank you

It has nothing to do with the users not being able to make changes to IE settings, because a GPO will override this user restriction.

My users cannot go into IE options. However, I have policies defining the Trusted Sites and it works wonderfully.

Hope This Helps,

Good Luck!

I'm the user What can we do from my perspective? I have Power User rights but need the fix to work for all users.

If it's a member server, how about the local policy?

Currently the security recognizes \\MyServerName\MyPath\MyFile.htm as a trusted site, but not when the URL is DriveLetter:\MyPath (e.g. M:\MyPath\MyFile.htm).

Anything special about the drive letter?

The main problem is that double-clicking on a file in explorer brings up the file with scripts disabled.

\\MyServerName\MyPath\ is actually a SAN share.

Thanks,

try adding
\\<ip address>
\\<server name>

to the trusted zone.

Still no satisfaction... the below are all trusted sites. The server recognizes other shares as intranet. Is there a curveball for SANs?

s:\ShareName
S:\ShareName

http://ServerName

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx

ServerName
xxx.xxx.xxx.xx
