Internet Explorer Security Settings

Hello,
We are using IE security related Group policies in our environment. We have a site where users are unable to download html pages from all of the websites. We have already tried adding these websites to the Trusted zones. However, the issue still persists.
Users get an error bar on the top of IE page. The error states "An add-on for this website failed to run. Check the security settings in Internet Options for potential conflicts". We have a different OU where this GPO is not applied and we do not
face this issue there.
Can anyone suggest what specific setting do i need to look for in gpresult from working and non-working computer. Please find the error screenshot attached.
Regards,
Farid Ansari

Hi,
My guess would be you need to update your Adobe and shockwave flash...
on a workstation go
Start>Control Panel>Flash 32, click the links to check for updates.
or from IE
Tools>Manage Addons>Show All Addons... located it in the list to see its version... you should have both 32bit and 64 bit versions installed.
If possible please provide the address of any website you are having problems with your questions. That way we can visit the site and see what plugins the site requires to work as designed.
Regards.

SP324081: Check that your Internet Explorer security settings will allow JavaScript and cookies. If enabled, please contact support.

Hi,
I have VS2013 update 4 and IE11 installed. When I try to sign in through VS I get the following error.
SP324081: Check that your Internet Explorer security settings will allow JavaScript and cookies. If enabled, please contact support.
I have checked and JAVASCRIPT and cookies are enabled.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Sath12,
If possible, I suggest you reset IE settings.
Please lower the security level. Then I added the site like https://*.visualstudio.com/ to the trusted zones. Test it again.
I have met this issue before which was related to the IE settings or the account issue.

Internet Explorer Security Settings for Previewing in Developer

Hello Marc,
I just 2 weeks new to UPK. I just switched over to a new laptop and now when I try to preview UPK in try it mode (local install), I receive an error message that says PREVIEW CANNOT OPEN "preview requires intranet settings to be enabled. These settings are located on the security tab in the Internet Settings of Internet Explorer." I current use IE 7.0. Can you advise which settings need to be changed?

Hello,
For See It! and Try It! mode preview you will need to do the following:
Tools > Internet Options > Security (tab) > Local Intranet (icon) > Sites. Check all of the boxes. “Automatically detect intranet network” must be unchecked for the other buttons to be available. Once you check everything, you can re-check “Automatically detect intranet network”.
For Do It! mode preview you will need to do the following:
Tools > Internet Options > Security (tab) > Local Intranet (icon) > Custom level... Scroll down until you see the option for "Allow script-initiated windows without size or position constraints" (a little more than halfway down) and set this option to Enable.
This should allow you to properly preview these modes in the UPK Developer.
Best regards,
Marc

Windows failed to apply the Internet Explorer Zonemapping settings - the data was invald (event ID: 1085)

Hi All,
I have a large domain and a long list of websites that are trusted using the following group policy setting:
Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer> Internet Control Panel > Security Page >
Site to Zone Assignment List
On all (XP/vista/win7) workstations across the domain I'm getting the following error:
Log Name: System
Source: Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy
Event ID: 1085
Task Category: None
Level: Warning
Keywords: Description: Windows failed to apply the Internet Explorer Zonemapping settings. Internet Explorer Zonemapping settings might have its own log file.
There's nothing either side of this error in the log that shines any more light on the issue.
I know which group policy object its applying these settings but cant find which of the entries in the site to zone assignment list is causing this issue. I looked in the
Group Policy/Operational log but all I see is the following entry which says "completed" but is logged as an error:
After some research I'm guessing that the issue is an incorrect wild-card. This is what my trusted sites list looks like (with names removed of course):
http://servername.*
*.internaldomain.com.au
*.domain.com.au
*.domain.*
*.externaldomain.com
*.domain.inernaldomain.com.au
*.domain.*
*.domain/name.*
*.domain.inernaldomain.au*
*.domain.com
Is there something obviously incorrect here?
Does anyone know where I could find an article that clearly outlines the acceptable wildcard syntax for the
"Security page\ site to zone assignment list" group policy? Ive read every forum post, website and blog I could find on the internet but nothing is clear and I wasn't able to find an MS document that steps it out. I've also changed the
existing list a number of times based on blog posts etc but had no luck.
**Please Note**
I dont want to change to a different method or have an intellectual debate re why I would have these sites/wildacrd/policy set. I'm really looking to see what entry is invalid and where the documentation is for this policy setting so i can make sure they are
always correct in the future.
thanks in advance for your time and assistance
Simone

UPDATE:
I disabled the original policy and created a new one with only one trusted site address in it. Then I logged into a clean test machine did some testing.What I found after a few hours of testing was; regardless of the site that I have listed in group policy
The HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Current version\Internet Settings\Zone Map Key registry entry is
always updated with that entry on the workstation. So the workstation's registry always updates the key with
*.sitename.com per the site that I have set in GP
If I run GPUPDATE /FORCE over and over again, on the same machine, under the same user account, using the same DC I get:
Failure, Failure, Failure, Success, Success, Success, Failure etc
I wasn't able to determine any pattern to the failures, I tried stopping some of the processes on that machine but didn't find anything that would make it fail/succeed reliably.
There is no AV or firewalls installed on my test machine
Anyone have any more ideas? I think I might install filemon and try to capture some more data unless there's a better tool?

Yes, and that's straight from my Microsoft TAM. As long as you include an asterisk inside those site-to-zone mappings, you'll continue to see them. The key is whether or not they're working. In my environment, I've seen complete success using the
http://*.domain.com, or
https://*.domain.com, no matter if the site is http://www.domain.com or
http://milk.does.a.body.good.domain.com. Despite the success, we continue to see the errors. It's much the same as Group Policy Preferences where you can apply a setting once, or repeatedly. If you apply
something repeatedly and it's already set, lookout for some complaints in the application log. It really is annoying. There's potential to play with the logging levels, but I'll admit that my experience ranks as "novice" in this specific section of group policy.
This link might get the creative juices flowing:

I see you've already read a number of articles including "a test case for troubleshooting those event IDs"... I sympathize with your efforts. I despise warnings and errors that I can't solve or don't want to see, but I've researched a number of them to death
and found that many are simply "normal". Uggg... I hope this helps, but please take my advice, as with anyone else's out here, with caution. I've seen some crazy recommendations. I saw a recommendation to install SQL on a DHCP server to get failover clustering
up and running. I hope the guy asking for help didn't listen to that one! : ) - josh

Does Resetting Internet Explorer Maintenance settings from GPO will also remove the proxy set in IE by a third party tool when the GPO refreshes for the first time

Hi,
We have two GPO's with IE maintenance (Preference Mode Configured)
The settings it has are
1. Automatically detect configuration settings - Set to Enabled.
2. Automatic Browser configuration - Not configured.
We do not have proxy value set in IE through this GPO.
We have proxy set in IE through a third party tool (TPT) which updates the proxy at logon event 5 and 10.
Does Resetting Internet Explorer Maintenance settings from these GPO's also clear proxy set in IE by third party tool after the first GPO refresh.
I am sure the second time when the GP refreshes, the client won't find any IEM settings and hence there is no question of the proxy set in IE by TPT to erase. It is only the first time of the GPO refresh that I am concerned about.
Can someone please guide as I am planning to do the same in our production and concerned about the downtime caused due to the proxy being removed if at all for the first time.

It will disable the proxy server option in Internet Options (untick the box), but will still store your proxy details.
Thanks
Ryan

Internet Explorer security message blocks my vrml from playing

I created a simple flash interactive saved as an exe file. I
created a button with a “get url” script to launch a
quicktime vrml, it launches internet explorer and a security
message about active content appears, which blocks the vrml from
playing. Is there anyway the vrml can open without getting the
internet explorer security message?

Hi,
My immediate reaction is don't panic! If you are testing your
own page from your own local server then there is nothing to worry
about. The whole issue of Active X controls is another sore point
when having to deal with Microsoft's handling of interactive
content.
Triggering of the warning can be caused by various things
other than the obvious contact with dynamic content. Here is an old
thread from a discussion on why Active X warning appear on your own
pages.
http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/showtopic16624.htm
Googling will find more evidence for you to trace. Your code
looks fine to me and is not a threat to your system if it came off
of your own local server.
Active X is a pain in the butt.

Internet explore security popups

Hi i am having trouble with popups from internet explorer security saying a websight wants to open web content using this program on your computer, Adobe Flash Player. I already have Adobe Flash Player. no matter what i do it keeps popping up. i click don't allow it goes away for a second then pops up again over and over when i try to go to another page can you please help me. it is very frustrating

If the pages contain Flash Content, this is normal unless you have your Flash Player set to allow storage. See :http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help02.html for more info.
If however, you see this when visiting pages that DO NOT have Flash content (regular HTML pages), you're infected with "Adware" which is using Flash Player to attempt to bombard you with ads.
You need to run a thorough virus scan and I'd recommend downloading and running TDSSKiller from Kaspersky as well.

Internet Explorer Security Support on Windows 7 & WIndows 2008 Std Server

I have an app page (tomcat https) that i was able to open from a windows 7 professional remotely but could not open from a windows 2008 std server. Is there a security settings I need to disable from windows 2008 std server? The firewall is disabled.
Both Win 7 & 2008 is on the same network.
Thanks in advance.
DT

Hi,
I need the error information from the Internet Explorer, if the error code is 404 that should be the webpage is not correctly developed, error code 500 means the tomcat server is not available, you should check the tomcat server, or another situation is
the port number is in use by another application, normally the default port number is 8080, you can try another port number in the comcat configuration file to see the result.

Internet explorer policy settings

Hi
I need to change some options in internet explorer for all users like in the Security Group . Net Framework . Loose XAML= Enable So can't found this option in the group policy .
How i do that change any option for all users
because change these options for each user
is hard work.
My system windwos server 2008 r2.
Regards

Hi,
I agree with Zanderol24. When we create a GPP Internet Settings item for Internet Explorer, in the Properties of the item, click
Security tab and click Custom Level bottom, then we can enable
Loose XAML for .NET Framework.
Besides, when we enable .NET Framework, please make sure that the color of the circle in front of the setting is green. If the color of the circle in front of the setting is red, the setting will not be applied.
About this point, we can refer to the following link:
Red / Green: GP Preferences doesn’t work even though the policy applied and after gpupdate \force

How to reset all Internet Explorer 8 settings for a different user profile?

Sometimes users on locked down PCs that need their IE settings reset to resolved issues such as improper/old cached credentials stored in the browser after a password change etc. These issues can be resolved by opening
Internet Options, Advanced tab, Reset, Delete All, Reset.
The users cannot do this because the Advanced Tab is hidden by policy. If an administrator logs in with a different account, of course, anything they change is in their profile and not the user's profile.
Is there some way for an administrator user to log in and access Internet Control Panel settings for a different user's Internet Options so they can reset the browser for a limited user?
We need a more streamlined way to do this instead of needing to either blow away the user's entire Windows profile or else go through the convoluted process of getting the GPO admins to undo the group policy for one user to unhide the tab, have the help
desk reset the browser for the user and then have the GPO admins reapply the original policy.

You can try the following script
Reset Internet Explorer all Setting to default using PowerShell Script
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Reset-Internet-Explorer-20f838e7
but this script still launches an interactive interface, you can ask in this form to improve the script to achieve an totally unattended process.
The Official Scripting Guys Forum!
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/scriptcenter/en-US/home?forum=ITCG
You can create a task schedule to trigger the process. When computer starts or
IE open , the script launches itself automatically.

Do I need Internet Explorer security updates if I use Firefox?

Hello!
I cannot find an answer to this question through a Google search so I'm asking it here please. I'm using Windows 7 and see lots of regular updates for Internet Explorer being installed. But I never use Internet Explorer, I only use Firefox. So I wanted to know, will I be putting my Firefox security at risk by not installing Internet Explorer updates released through Windows Upate? Does a flaw in one browser affect another?
Thank you!
Alice.

Thank you for your quick reply jscher2000. Your advice makes sense, I'll keep updates for Internet Explorer going. It was just something I was curious about. For example, if someone used both Firefox and Chrome, would a flaw in one affect another? And whilst Googling earlier for an answer for my question before posting (didn't want to waste anyone's time with a repetitive question), I noticed some people have completely uninstalled Internet Explorer, so presumably they won't even be offered any IE updates.
Thanks again!
Alice.

Internet Explorer Security warning in HTTPS evironment

Hello,
We have a webdynpro application which is integrated into portal.
The app runs in https environment.
The problem is: during accessing the page, I get the warning popup:
"This page contains both secure and nonsecure items. Do you want to display the nonsecure items?"
The problem is in the calendar drop down component run not in https environment (standard webdynpro -->javascript).
Do you have idea for the possible solution?

Internet explore security zone

Hey guys, I recently started working on Sharepoint 2013, developing som webparts, but I've seem to hit a wall and I simply can't figure out what the problem is, so I hope you guys can :)
What I want to do is I want to be able to see which sercurity zone my intranet is on the users browser(only on IE, no other browser support is needed for this), however, whenever I try to deploy it, it keeps returning "Default" instead of one of
the other zones which I have added my intranet to.
basically what I do is this ;
if (SPContext.Current.Site.Zone == SPUrlZone.Extranet)
Zone = "Extranet";
else if (SPContext.Current.Site.Zone == SPUrlZone.Intranet)
Zone = "Intranet";
else if (SPContext.Current.Site.Zone == SPUrlZone.Default)
Zone = "Default";
I do have a few more else statements in between but I take it you get the idea :)
so does anyone know why I the Current.Site.Zone doesn't register the correct
thing ?
Edited:
I've also tried
SPWebApplication app = SPContext.Current.Site.WebApplication;
SPAlternateUrl u = app.AlternateUrls[Request.URL];
SPUrlZone zone = u.UrlZone;
and this didn't work either

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to see which sercurity zone your intranet is on the users browser.
To know the zone of a request we can use the SPContext.Current.Site.Zone class. This returns an enum of SPUrlZone which represents wether its a Default zone, Intranet Zone, Internet Zone, Custom Zone or Extranet Zone. You can refer to:
Get current zone in SharePoint 2010
I recommend you to create a Console Application to check whether you can get the site zone.
You can use the code as below.
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration;
namespace GetCurrentZone
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://www.contoso.com"))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
string Zone = string.Empty;
if (site.Zone == SPUrlZone.Extranet)
Zone = "Extranet";
else if (site.Zone == SPUrlZone.Internet)
Zone = "Internet";
else if (site.Zone == SPUrlZone.Intranet)
Zone = "Intranet";
else if (site.Zone == SPUrlZone.Custom)
Zone = "Custom";
else if (site.Zone == SPUrlZone.Default)
Zone = "Default";
Console.WriteLine(Zone);
Console.ReadKey();
If it works, the issue is caused by the code you used.
You need to debug the code to find where the error it is.
Or you can create a new project to check whether it works.
