IE7 and Open/Run prompt for scripts

[pgordemer]

With IE7, users now get a Open/Run confirmation when launching scripts loaded from the file server. In IE6, I added the servers names in Trusted Zones and this corrected the problem. Doesn't work that way in IE7, even listing the servers in Intranet Zone still creates the prompt.

Ideas on a regedit to all VBS scripts from server, but not the Internet

I believe if you digitally sign your script that will go away.

I hope you find this post helpful.

I have tons of little 10 and 20 line scripts that are used daily and modified constantly. How am I going to digitally sign them?

You need a digital certificate. THen you can run one script that will add the digital signature to all of them.

Here is sample code that will sign all scripts in a given folder

set objSigner = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.Signer")
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("c:\scripts")
Set colListOfFiles = objFolder.Files
For each objFile in colListOfFiles
    objSigner.SignFile objFile.Path, "IT Department"
Next

I hope you find this post helpful.

I *think* if you add the UNC of the server in the trusted sites, that this goes away. I know it solves the same problem when attempting to run files from a UNC in Terminal Services.
