Enhansed security option already removed, even i try enable it then restart the server and then disable it from Add remove programs, even though same problem
i found one more things that under IE7 security option " Default security level " and " reset default security lever for all zones" are grayout.
i dont understand why this buttons are grayout, how to enable it. i try to search but found registry key change but that apply for win XP and vista not for Windows 2003 server.

That;s strangem, you are 100& sure that the Enhanced Security Option is uninstalled?? Because the error you are receiving implies that it is still installed... Also the fact that you are unable to change settings in the IE implies this behaviour..
You are the admin of the machine and are physically sitting behind it when installing and uninstalling features??
Also, changing reg keys that are used for XP and vista normally are the same for the Server 2003.. Only thing is that this enhanced security feature is not something you can install on a XP or Vista workstation..
Have you tried reinstalling IE yet??

This is the Enhanced Security configuration of Internet Explorer, this is installed by default on all servers.
You can (and should) uninstall it on a Terminal Server. Go to Config Panel --> Add Remove Programs and then choose Windows Components.. You will see the box before the Enhanced Security Configuration being ticked.. Just untick it and click on next, this way the feature will be uninstalled..
Micrsoft did this so people are unable to internet on servers or at least think about what they are doing on a server :)
