is there a way to tell a GPO an .exe file is safe?

[John Sheen]

Having much trouble with dialog boxes, warnings, etc. as you can see
from my previous posts in 2003 (2000 DC AD).



Where can I go into my GPO and tell it a specified .EXE is _SAFE_ darn
it anyway!



Thanks,

You could investigate Software Restriction Policies
(Path, certificate, etc)

But I am not sure precisely what you wish to accomplish.

Basically - I am having a hard time, with 2003 Server and it prompting
that .exe's etc. may be "unsafe" (when running from a network UNC share
path), or not running them at all because of restrictions somewhere in
the internet explorer.

I want to be able to add trusted "sites" (UNC paths, or otherwise),
and/or .executables, so that 1) the user is not prompted to
open/save/etc. and 2) it successfully runs.

I'd like to do this in a GPO.

Make sense?

Thanks!
