Hi,

Is it possilbe to use AD to disable users ability
to download files form the internet.
There is a option in IE Security Settings to disable
downloads. But I cant see where I can set this using a
GPO

Any ideas folks??????

Hello,

This should help:

1) Edit GPO and go to User Configuration >> Windows Settings >> Internet
Explorer Maintenance >> Security >> Security Zones and Content Ratings

2) Check "Import the current security zones settings" under "Security
Zones" and click on "Modify Settings"

3) Select 'Internet' and click on "Custom Level"

4) Scroll down to 'Downloads' section and disable "File Download"

Thank You.

Thanks Diana,

That is great, is it possible to disable internet
downloads and enable Trusted site Downloads?

I have tried setting Internet, Security, Disable Downloads
and
Enabling Trusted site downloads to
http://www.microsoft.com but when I try and download from
Microsoft I get downloads denied??
Although I have the trusted site icon on the bottom of my
browser.

Any thoughts???

Hello,

Configure a Domain Group Policy to Prevent W2K clients from using Internet
Explorer to download files (browsing web sites is OK).


1) Edit GPO and go to User Configuration >> Windows Settings >> Internet
Explorer Maintenance >> Security >> Security Zones and Content Ratings

2) Check "Import the current security zones settings" under "Security
Zones" and click on "Modify Settings"

3) Select 'Internet' and click on "Custom Level"

4) Scroll down to 'Downloads' section and disable "File Download"

Thank You.

Diana.
