IE Hardening Pack für Windows Server 2003

• The High security template is applied to the Internet and intranet security zones. The template contains settings that provide the highest level of security. This prevents Web sites from performing potentially damaging operations. As a result, scripting, Active X controls, the Java Virtual Machine, and file downloads are all disabled.
• The Medium security template is applied to the Trusted Sites zone. This allows sites in this zone to have normal browsing functionality. The Windows Update Web site is added to the Trusted Sites zone by default.

To view the complete list of changes that result from installing Internet Explorer Hardening Pack, open Internet Explorer, click Tools and then click Internet Options. Click the Security tab, click Restricted Sites, and then click Custom Level.

The configuration that appears corresponds to the security enhancements that apply to both Internet and intranet Web sites when Internet Explorer Hardening Pack is installed. Making additional changes to any of the zones after you install the pack automatically enables the Reset to default option. Use this option to revert to the template that is installed by Internet Explorer Hardening Pack for the corresponding zone.

The increased level of security might prevent browser-based client applications from working in the Internet and intranet zones. Server-based applications will continue to work as they did before you installed the pack, however.

After installing the pack, you might want to access Web sites that require the functionality that has been disabled. To access those Web sites, you can add them to the Trusted Sites zone.
