Group Policy Restricts IE users from running Java Script.

We have recentely installed SBS 2011. It turns out when using group policy, a policy disables IE from running any scripts.  We manually change it on the client and it works.. however, when user loggs back in the policy is reinforced, thereby restricting the user from running scripts again. Does anyone know how to turn this off? Very annoying since we never asked for it! :)
thanks!

You're going to have to open your group policy. The Default domain policy, I would imagine.
You can acccess from AD users & Computers. Right click domain level, and Properties. From there will be a Group Policy TAB. Highlight the policy, and EDIT.

I'm not sure exactly which one DISABLES scripting, or if there is an all-in-one, but look look under:
COMPUTER > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer

From there I think it will be under Internet Control Panel > Security Page > {Whatever Zone}
There are several Active-x/java/scripting policies. Just look for something enabled.
Some are odd, like JAVA for instance, you enable the policy but within that is a DISABLE, etc...
