Server 2008 IE Security Settings - Cant Adjust for member ofAdministrators Group

[Guest bpowers]

Server 2008 STD X86

Terminal Services Role installed

User is a member of the local administrator's group

 

In IE7, select Tools, Internet Options. Security folder tab, highlight

Trusted Sites. The Security level for this zone defaults to Medium and

the slide bar is inactive no matter what I try.

 

Enable protected mode is unchecked.

 

What do I need to do to lower the Security Level?

 

My purpose is to allow an unsigned active-x program from a trusted

source allow my line of business application interact with QuickBooks

2008.

Hello bpowers,

 

Check your policies for the terminal server, that there is not setting that

blocks the change even for administrators.

 

Best regards

I have the same issue, but my security setting is set to high. How can I

change it to medium?

Michael,

 

This worked for me:

Go to start > Run and in the search box type: server

On the right side of the page under 'Security Info' click on 'Configure

IE ESC'

Turn the Administrators ESC off

Go back to your Trusted Sites page and see if you can configure the

zone.

Also, not sure why yet, but I had to reset my home page after making

this change

 

Hope this helps
