[gptalk] Re: Site to Zone Assignment locks all zones

Or by the same token, it would be very simple to use GP Preferences registry
extensions to do this. Frankly, if you have GP Prefs. in your environment, I
don’t see a lot of value in continuing to use custom ADMs when GP Prefs. is
simpler and quicker.

Hi,

 

The alternative is to write your own ADM file that creates the registry keys
that you want. They all sit under 

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\ZoneMap

 

I have attached a sample file. You could set it up to either add specific
sites or delete sites that you don't want users to add.

 

(Note: I haven't actually tested that it works...)

Hmm, Maintenance policy, i feared that :-) I have never properly understood

that part of Group Policies. When opening "Security Zones and Content

Ratings" it imports all IE-setting from my computer and presets _all_

settings for my users. But I don't want to configure all settings in all

zones, I only wont to configure a few settings. Most of the settings will I

leave to the users to choose. Maintenance policy is in some sense not a

"true" policy, because you can't choose to _not_ configure a value. Or is

there a way to achieve this with Maintenance policy?
