Re: How do you prevent the security warning "unknown publisher" for all users?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I saw those settings, however, the users will be connecting from home so I
didn't think group policy would affect them. Am I correct?

Have you used the GPO settings here:

OK. Now that the .rdp files are working again, we are still
getting the security warning. The .rdp file points to an .exe.
This .exe is our accounting software and it launches different
.exes from within. Whenever it launches the other .exes, these
warnings prompt the user. Any ideas?

OK, let's continue in the new thread, has a more appropriate
subject line.

Vera, I installed a cert and I am now digitally signing my
.rdp files. However, I am now getting an error and I can no
longer connect to the terminal server with them. I created a
new thread called "Problem digitally signing .rdp files" on
8/27. Could you offer some insight please?

Thanks.

But have you digitally signed your rdp files? Without that,
you'll not get rid of the warning.

Here is the exact message...



Title Bar: Open File - Security Warning
Message: The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure
you want to run this software?
Name: u:\folder\program.exe
Publisher: Unknown Publisher
Type: Application
From: u:\folder\program.exe

Run button Cancel
button

This file does not have a valid digital signature that
verifies its
publisher. You should only run software from publishers you
trust. How can I decide what software to run?



...It doesn't mention website or file download.

Then I would expect this message:

When users start a program, they get a "file download"
dialog box, or an error message: "Windows cannot access the
specified device, path, or file. You may not have the
appropriate permissions to access the item."

but you can give it a try.

We are not getting "a Website wants to start a remote
connection". I don't know if the Cert applies here. I
thought it was a Group Policy referring to trusted
intranet sites that needs to be set. Am I wrong?

Check if this helps:

When users start a RemoteApp, they get a dialog box: "a
Website wants to start a remote connection. The publisher
of this remote connection cannot be identified."

When a user launches a RemoteAPP program, he gets an
Open File - Security Warning. It says "The publisher
could not be verified.
Are you sure you want to run this software?" The
dialog prompt
refers to the drive letter mapping and the .exe in
question. How can I set up the terminal server so these
prompts do not happen to any user?
