Add a website to Intranet Zone vie Group Policy
I would like to add a specific website to user's IE Intranet Zones. I'd like to do this through group policy, and I'd like for my changes to not affect existing entries in this zone or keep users from adding additional entries to the zone. From what I read, this is accomplished through pushing out a registry change via group policy. However, I have IE versions ranging from 6 to 8, so I'm not sure if they all will use the same registry setting. In addition, if I go on a workstation and add my site to the Intranet Sites, then search for it in registry editor (to find out what key/vlaue was changed so I can export it) I don't find it.
Any suggestions as to what I'm missing or is there a better wa to do this?

merowinger - I had tried that yesterday, but when I set this it locks several things down with it and doesn't allow anyone to add to the intranet sites list anymore. I just wanted to add a site to whatever was there, if anything, and still leave it open so users can add to it if necessary.
I will check out the above article and see if it is what I'm looking for.

mcsween - does this just add the site I list or will the policy also lock down settings so users can't add to it?
just adds the site; will not lock down the zone. Users may be able to remove the site you add but it will just get added back on the next Group Policy refresh.

Ok, I think that's what I need... once I apply the policy will it remove anything currently in the site list or just add to it? I assume if users can still add to it then the policy must not delete them or they'd have to add to it continually.

I tested it out and it works. It leaves what's in there and just adds on. Good deal, thanks!
