Security Warning when open/run file from a Network Share
Hi all, We have Windows VISTA SP2 with IE 7 in use. One Week ago, it was required to change the Share mapings from \\server1\share1 to \\server1.ourdomain.com\share1. Since this change, there is the issue, that if Itry to open a file (cmd or exe) from this share, a Security warning appears. If I change back the mapping to example 1 (without domain), I can open the file without any messages. Also it works when I open the file by UNC path and not with X:\Share1\.. The differnt is that if I use the mapping with domain, the Share is recogized as "Internet Zone" and not "Local Intranet". So I add \\server1.ourdomain.com (also tried file://server1.ourdomain.com) to the Local Intranet Zone by GPO but no success. When I open the file with X:\Share1\.. the warning message still appears. With the UNC Path it works well... Any Ideas..? Thanks for help EDIT: That's funny... I've updated the Internet Explorer to IE 9 on the same Client and now the share has been recognized as Local Intranet..but this is only for test. So it seems that there is somthing wrong with IE 7..

The working solution is to add the following Reg-Key. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_RESPECT_ZONEMAP_FOR_MAPPED_DRIVES_KB929798] "*"=dword:00000001 cheers Mike
