IE8 settings on Win2008 Terminal
Hello,
I have a Windows 2008 Terminal Server installed with IE8 and I would like some custom IE8 settings applied to the Trusted Sites for all users of the Terminal Server. We have a number of ActiveX controls that must be enabled for an application to work. The users must also be able to add Trusted sites.
The domain controller is a SBS 2008 Server
Can this be accomplished in GPO and how? What is the best method? Please step me through the process - Thank you.

Hello Computer beast - I messed up a bit with the versions of IE. The SBS2008 system has IE7 installed and of course the AD & GPO is administered from there.
The Terminal Server has IE9.
I created an IE policy and applied it to the TS User OU however It appears with this config any gpupdate I do on the SBS has no impact on the Terminal Server.
What I proceeded to do was then to run a gpedit.msc on the TS as a admin and set the changes for IE9 this appear to have resolved some problems but the trusted sites are still greyed out.
If I can get the the trusted site ungreyed for the normal TS users I would say my problem is resolved.
Compdigit44 - Where should I check for the Internet Explorer Enhanced Security - On the SBS, TS or both? I do not see it under programs or features on both servers.

The key to solving this problem was to turn off the Internet Explorer Enhanced Security. While Compdigit44 did not tell me to do this the seed was planted to experiment on the Win2008 server and it produced the flexibility required to make the custom user changes.
