[OPLINTECH] Upgraded to IE 8

[JKENZIG]

Remember when you make a GPO change it generally takes 2 reboots on the client to have the policy applied.  I always do a gpudate /force from a command line on both the client and the server (and you shouldn’t need a reboot them) to avoid this.

I found a reference on Experts Exchange asking that same question specifically with regards to IE8 and not IE7. The accepted answer was the same as what you've already tried, however. Two things strike me. 1) The solution apparently worked for WinXP. No mention of Vista/Win7.  2) case sensitive.


Experts Exchange link (for those of you that subscribe):
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Internet_Email/Web_Browsers/Internet_Explorer/Q_24897305.html?sfQueryTermInfo=1+comput+ie8+put+risk+secur+set+your

For those that don't, here's the important parts:
Original Question:
"I have been trying to test IE8 for use within our Agency but continue to get this warning: "Your security setting level puts your computer at risk"
I am aware that starting with IE7 (Which our agency never went to, so we are still using IE6) Internet Explorer checks your browser settings and if Microsoft doesn't like the settings it will give you this warning. I need to find how to disable this warning and preferably in a manner that we could create a Group Policy so we don't have to manually disable when we push out to all users."

Accepted Solution:

"I found a way to get around it in XP.

- Open regedit (Start > Run > regedit )
- Navigate to HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Security
- If those key don't exist, you'll probably have to create them. They are case-sensitive !!!
- Now, create the following DWORD (CASE SENSITIVE !!!): DisableSecuritySettingsCheck
- Give this DWORD the value: 1

"



(So...Uh...What kind of plagiarism laws did I just break?)

For IE8 the location to add the DWORD value of “DisableSecuritySettingsCheck” is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Security …then set that to 1. Hope that helps.

I upgraded our public computers to IE 8 last night.  We are running into a problem this morning with an initial prompt that says “Your security settings put your computer at risk” with prompts to fix or continue browsing.  I tried to get this to go away by enabling group policy for User Settings|Windows Components|Internet Explorer|Turn off the security settings check feature.  When that did not work we tried registry edit to create dword for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Security\DisableSecuritySettingsCheck and set value to 1.  That did not work either.  Can anyone suggest a resolution?

 

Thanks,
