IE security on 2008 TS

[Guest David]

Hi,

 

I have 2x 2008 Enterprise TS member servers running.

 

All domain users have problems browsing the web. ActiveX controls cannot be

installed (flash, java etc) because they need admin priviliges.

Ok I can live with that, but even browsing the web is hard. When they go to

a flash based site, they get a yellow message bar at the top "Your security

setting do not allow websites to use ActiveX controls installed on your

computer. This page may not display correctly. Click here for options". When

they click it, they only have a "more information" button, no "enable this

content for this site" or something like that.

I can't explain to all them that they have to add them to the trusted sites

in IE options...

Security settings for all 4 zones (Internet, Local Intranet, Trusted Sites &

Restricted Sites) is set to default. Protected mode is enabled.

 

Is the only way to do this, is create a GPO whith custom security settings

for the Internet zone in IE?

 

thanks

David

For the security settings issue, the IE newgroups will be a better place.

For the other issue, as you said, a non-admin cannot install teh activex

control.
