not allowed to open file

Hi,

This even happens when I'm logged on to a Windows 2003 R2 SP2 server as "Administrator" of the
domain
On a file server is a ZIP file. When I try to open this ZIP file I get: "Your currect security
settings do not allow this action".
If I simply copy the file from the fileserver to the desktop and open it there is no problem. So
whatever security this is, it is a stupid kind of security as it prevents nothing.

What kind of security setting could this be in a Windows Active Directory environment? Which
settings prohibits opening a file from a fileserver in the domain?
Please don't tell me it is that stupid IE security stuff or if it is how I can disable this once and
for all for all computers in my domain.

Hello Bonno,

Add the server to the trusted sites in IE options and try again.

Hi,

One of the servers with the ZIP file is even a DC, why the heck isn't it trusted by default.
What must I do to make sure all my servers in the AD are seen as trusted by all machines in the AD?
I am not going the route of adding individual servers on individual machines to IE settings.
