Internet Explorer 6 Deployment

[Yaman Akkasoglu]

Hi All,

I need to deploy Internet Explorer 6 with SP1 to my Windows 2000 clients. I
have Active Directory (Group Policy) or SMS 2.0 to use for deployment.
Unfortunately the security policy setting on clients is set to "Warn but
Allow installation" for "unsigned (non-)driver installation behavior" so the
same pop-up message appears 12 times even during an unattanded installation
with "/Q". I don't have a chance to change the security policy (as described
in KB822207) which is forced from high above in our environment. Does anyone
have an idea on how I can supress those pop-up messages or an alternate way
to deploy Internet Explorer 6.0 with SP1 using Active Directory (Group
Policy) or SMS 2.0 (software distribution)? I appreciate any kind of help or
ideas.

Regards,
Yaman

Hi Yaman,

I noticed that you have posted this issue in multiple queue. To avoid any
potential conflicts, I will follow up with you in Win2000.AD queue.Please
check my answer in that thread. Thanks for understanding .

for your convenience, I paste my answer here for your convenience.

====================
Hi Yaman,

For security reason, I don't think we can install IE6 without modify this
security policy. As we know, the security policy is stored in registry key,
so as an alternative, you can modify the registry key:

Change the following registry setting

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Non-Driver Signing\Policy

Change REG_BINARY to 00


The values in this registry correspond to the following:

00 is Silently Install

01 is Warn, but Install

02 is Do Not Install
