I think that is the ultimate annoyance. Now I have it set to just automatically detect the intranet, and that "somewhat" resolves the mapped drive to "one" of my file servers But if i set the site to zone assignment, I can't "Add" another setting because it "wipes" out the automatic detected intranet file server Where do I go again for the IE maintenance settings...? ________________________________ From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Darren Mar-Elia Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2008 8:46 PM To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Re: Internet Explorer Security zone nightmare Keep in mind that if you're setting Site to Zone Assignment in Admin. Templates, one of the side effects is that those are locked down to users. IE Maintenance based zone security won't do that but has its own issues!

The frustration is, where I am making the changes, does not seem to have an effect. I am trying to not have the dreaded Open File - Security warning pop up when my staff tries to install things from my remote NAS file server What is wierd, is I use folder redirection which points to the same NAS, and when users run the same executables, the ydon't get the Open File warning. But if they run that same eexcutable from a mapped drive to a different folder on the file server, the Open File Warning box pops up. Another annoying things, is if i set the site to zone assignment GP settings, the users are unable to add sites because it is greyed out. I try to disable or reverse the policy, and I am still unable .. Very frustrating at this point. I am thinking, I am in the wrong section of group Policy
