I'm trying to figure out how to allow a specific ActiveX control to automatically install on a user's computer. &nbsp;Currently, a user goes to the web page and it prompts them to install a file (activex.cab). &nbsp;The users only have the button to click OK. &nbsp;If the user then goes into IE and changes to prompt for unsigned ActiveX controls the user can then go to the site again and get the same prompt for the activex.cab file but with a button to install. &nbsp;The user can then install it and be on their way.<br />
<br />
How can I create a group policy to automatically install the ActiveX component without requiring any user intervention?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

How to allow ActiveX control to install via a Group Policy.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
