Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration

[Guest ctowndu33]

I have a particular TS box that the users are constantly screwing up and

getting infected. I want to turn on IE ESC but was wondering, is there a way

to grant only a few users rights to add to the trusted sites list? I want

all websites to go through a process and be granted access from a couple of

trusted power users. I know by default any user can add to the trusted sites

list and was hoping this can be overruled. Thanks in advance!

You can enforce all settings in a Group Policy, and give only a few

people permission to add sites to the trusted sites list in the GPO.

I figured that is how it would have to be. Was hoping to stay away from GPO

since the end-users have never used it before, but I may have to go that

route (or just have them put in tickets).

End users will not need to know anything about GPOs. They will only

notice the effects of the settings that the Administrator

implements through GPOs.

GPOs are your best friend when it comes down to configuring and

enforcing settings for all users.
