Re: open file security warning "unknown publisher"



Oh geez, I completely missed that. Ok, i fyou want that to affect everyone,
there is a gpo setting under the IE area that says to use the zones
information from the Machine. this allows you to enter something like that
once and then it affects everyone. If you are usingn Win2k3 SP1, there is a
gpo that allows you to set that information by gpo as well.

Jeff and Vera, Mea Culpa! I have been adding \\server to IE on the
Terminal
Server itself. When I added to IE in the user session on the remote
desktop
the warning again. Thanks much for you help and for tolerating a newbie!!

Jeff, When I added it as \\server the wizard actually flipped it so that
it
appears in the list as file://server ...so that did not address the
problem??
Thanks, EPGeek

Try adding it as file://<server>

Jeff, After receiving Vera's message I did add the server UNC to the
Intranet
Sites on IE on the Terminal Server. This had no affect on the
problem as
I
said in my previous post. The message appears to be referring to the
app2.exe file itself. When I added the site to the intranet site's,
I
added
\\server as Vera suggested. Should I have added
\\server\share\app2.exe
instead??

Vera, Thanks for the prompt reply. I thought we had nailed this
one,
but
after making the changes and trying it again I still get the same
warning
message. The warning message does say "unknown publisher", but it
does
add:
" This file does not have a valid digital signature that verifies
its
publisher." The file that it seems to be referring to is the
client
application executable as in \\server\app2.exe , and once I clearn
this
warning app2.exe seems to run flawlessly. Still I would like to
eliminate
the warning message. Also note that the first application at
C:\app1.exe
continues to run with no warning message???

Q. When I try to run a program from my file server, I see a "file
download" warning box

A. Internet Explorer Enhanced Security (IEES) restricts access to
scripts, executable files, and other potentially unsafe files on
a
UNC path unless the UNC path is added to the Local Intranet zone
explicitly. For example, if you want to access \\server\share
\setup.exe, you must add \\server to the Local intranet zone.

Start Internet Explorer on the Terminal Server, go to Tools -
Internet Options - Security - Local Intranet zone. Add the UNC
name
of the server where the application is located, something like
\\server.

Or configure this in a GPO:
User Configuration\Windows Settings\Internet explorer
Maintenance
\Security zones and Content ratings
"Local intranet"

I'm a newbie, who has just installed a Terminal Server with 2
user applications. Both applications are activated by
shortcuts
on the Remote Desktop. After some effort I have both app's
executing for my limited user base. However one of these app's
executes flawlessly, whilst the other app throws up a warning
message when activated "Open File - Secutity Warning ... blah
blah unknown puslisher" , but once the warning is cleared the
app executes just fine. We can continue to run this way, but I
would like to clear the warning. The only difference between
the two that I can see is that the app that has no warning has
the shortcut pointing to the C: drive as in starting point =
C:\app1.exe , and the app with a warning message starts from a
mapped drive as in K:\app2.exe where K: =
\\server\appShare\app2.exe .
I have tried changing various policies, but am not sure where
to turn?? Any
help would be greatly appreciated.
