You mean its in several INF files spread across different GUID-named folders? 
Its not likely that it would come from a different area of policy and still be 
in those INF files. Those are strictly the domain of IE Maintenance policy? Not 
sure if you know this, but when you edit security zone settings using IE 
Maintenance policy, it builds those INF files based on the settings you have 
within IE on the machine that you’re editing the policy on. Its very confusing 
but what happens is that its sucks all of those settings out of your local 
browser’s config and stuffs them into the INF files. So, my guess is that your 
machine where you’re editing that policy has that restriction in it and that is 
why these other policies are picking it up.

What’s weird is that it is in several of the *.inf files so that would tell me 
that it is coming from several policies.   I’ve looked at them all and it isn’t 
in there.  I wonder if another setting would trigger putting *mydomain.com in 
there.

You should be able to remove that one domain from the .inf file and be good to 
go.

Have you opened up that file that’s in SYSVOL and looked to see if your site 
restriction is somehow still in there?

The GPO is still linked since we have some other trusted sites in there.  I 
just removed an entry from the GPO.

What GPO does it belong to? The folder that you find that file in should be 
named by a GUID. You’ll need to search for that GUID using something like GPMC 
or my GPMC PowerShell Cmdlets, and then figure out if that GPO is still linked 
to your users.

Ok, it came back again.  L  I just did a search in the policies folder of 
sysvol and I do see this setting there in the seczrsop.inf files.  How can I 
tell which policy is putting them there or if they are just stale entries?  Is 
it safe for me to manually remove the settings from the .inf files?

I would delete the whole subfolder.

This may have fixed it.  I need to try it out on some of the problem machines.  
Do I need to delete the subfolders under custom settings or just the 
seczones.inf files?

Could be that the settings are getting stuck. I’ve seen this happen before. 
Look within the user’s profile under %userprofile%\application 
data\microsoft\internet explorer\custom settings. See if you see some 
sub-folders in there with files in them like seczones.inf. If so, delete those 
folders and then see if that helps get rid of the lockdowns. Sometimes IE 
Maintenance doesn’t clean up after itself.

I did check the registry and after I manually remove it there is no trace of 
it.  I deployed via IE maintenance.

Mark-

Have you tried verified whether the settings are still “stuck” in the registry 
location where policy is putting them? How did you deploy the restrictions? Via 
Admin. Templates or IE Maintenance policy?

I have a strange issue.  A while back I created a GPO which added some sites to 
the local intranet zone.  I added *.mydomain.com.  We are now having an issue 
where this is breaking something.  I removed *.mydomain.com from the GPO and 
manually removed it from the pc’s and the issue goes away.  My problem is that 
when the computer is rebooted, *.mydomain.com comes back.  I have searched all 
my GPO’s and I am not seeing it.  To make things more strange, it happens on 
some machines and not others that are in the same OU.  Any help would be 
appreciated.  Thanks.
