Group Policy for IE Security Zones
- by Doug Luxem
We are currently using the following Group Policy to control the Internet Explorer security zones:
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Internet Control Panel\Security Page
Then setting the Site to Zone Assignment List with the various values using the following chart:
Value Setting
------------------------------
0 My Computer
1 Local Intranet Zone
2 Trusted sites Zone
3 Internet Zone
4 Restricted Sites Zone
This works well; however, users are then unable to edit (or especially add) to their zone settings. Is there a way to lock in our custom zone settings while still giving users the ability to add their own sites to the security zones?
Yes, I do realize the slight security risk in opening this up.
