Hello,

We need to be able to change the settings for Windows XP SP2 to allow
pop-ups from our internal voicemail server only across our domain. We have
over 100 PCs so it would take some time to go around to each machine and add
the server into an exception list. Does anyone know if there is a way to do
this either through Group Policy or some other way? Any help is greatly
appreciated.

Hi Brian,

You can use Active Directory Group Policy to configure a list of sites that are allowed to use pop-ups even when blocking is enabled using the settings in:
Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\ Pop-up Allow List
</quote>

From the Explain tab (gpedit.msc)
-----------------------------------
This policy setting allows you to manage a list of web sites that will be allowed to open pop-up windows regardless of the Internet Explorer process's Pop-Up Blocker settings.

If you enable this policy setting, you can enter a list of sites which will be allowed to open pop-up windows regardless of user settings. Users will not be able to view or edit this list of sites. Only the domain name is allowed, so www.contoso.com is valid, but not http://www.contoso.com. Wildcards are allowed, so *.contoso.com is also valid.

If you disable this policy setting, the list is deleted and users may not create their own lists of sites.

If this policy is not configured, users will be able to view and edit their own lists of sites.

How to export Internet Explorer Pop-up blocker settings and apply to other systems ?:
