Title: Disabling the file open security warning for certain VBS scripts

You can’t turn it off for specific files, or even file types.  You can set it via Internet Explorer GPO to turn off the warning altogether, but I don’t think you really want that.

There are two options that I know of.  You can either use a trusted source for code-signing, or you can store the files locally on every machine in the environment.  If it is stored locally Windows doesn’t consider it to be a threat.   You would have to change the path to the vbs scripts to something that resolves locally on the machines (c:\scripts\..., for example).  Of course the admin overhead on that becomes insane.  If every user connects to your network from a Citrix server or something like that, it is a little more doable.  Otherwise code-signing is really the only viable option.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Disabling the file open security warning for certain VBS scripts

 

 

I have a bunch of vbs scripts which are stored in SYSVOL.

They are called when a user right clicks an object in AD and chooses one of the extra functions added to the context menu (via a displaySpecifiers change) .

By default, these scripts generate a file open security dialog - which I'd like to suppress.

Any ideas as to how this might be done for just a select few VBS scripts, without allowing all VBS scripts to run without a warning? The scripts could be executed from any machine in the forest.

Software restriction policy?
Code signing?
IE zone changes?
???

Thx,
neil
