Group Policy is blocking Internet Explorer


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi All,

 

I applied some restrictions via Local Group Policy to a pc with

Windows 2000 SP4 and Internet Explorer 6.0 Sp1.

 

I have an intranet application that need to open a new page of IE when

the user click a button on this application, but when they do it, they

receive the message:

 

"The operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this

computer. Please contact your system administrator."

 

Ok, I'm the system administration and I really don't know what is the

exact setting that is preventing the user to use the application.

 

I tried to disable the User Configuration part of the Local Policy and

it works so I think the problem is there, but I cannot find the exact

parameter.

 

Can you help me?

 

Thanks Everybody!

I'm on an XP PC at the moment so some of these details may be different

locations.

 

If this is on a local PC then goto the connections tab in IE properties

 

LAN Settings button

 

Use a proxy server pointing to 127.0.0.1 (ie the local machine so web access

is killed)

 

Tick the box that says Bypass proxy server for local addresses

 

This should allow your intranet page to still work

 

Then in gp editor disable the display of the connections tab then the user

cannot alter the settings

 

HTH?

Ok, I found the solution: under User Configuration\Administrative

Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Browser Menu there is

the policy: "Disable Open in New Window menu option". I disabled it

and now it works.
