Major ActiveX Domain issue. NOT LOCAL PC ISSUE

Network info:

SBS 2003 as DC (40 users) + 1 Member Server (print/file server)
SQL Server 2000
All PC's running WindowsXP SP2
All network browsers are Internet Explorer 6

Issue:

PC's are not able to install ActiveX controls. "Install ActiveX
control" is not listed in the options on the Information bar. "Your
security options will not allow this software to install" is reported.



Additional Facts:

Domain policy is set to allow specified ActiveX controls dependant on
the controls ClassID and name. Policy is set at the Domain security
level for all authenticated users. (Not on a OU or Group)

Network PC's are all set to allow ALL activex controls to install
(obviously dependant on the domain security policy)

Intranet sites where ActiveX controls are being installed from have
been added to "trusted sites" list in Internet Explorer.

(NOTE: I am not a web developer and know nothing about the sites
themselves.)


Anyone have any ideas?

 

Your problem is here
"Domain policy is set to allow specified ActiveX controls dependant on
the controls ClassID and name. Policy is set at the Domain security
level for all authenticated users. (Not on a OU or Group)"

I guess not. Irritating, isn't it!

 

not much their fault since they don't know usenet

google does not give much a clue or how to post on usenet

I'm getting to dislike the big G more and more each day
especially how they work with China government

 

What problem?

 

And it is working perfectly. It is a domain policy so that means anyone who
logs into the domain will not be able to download activeX. Every active X
control is different. Say for example you download 3 times from MS 3
different files or updates, you will have 3 different activeX controls.

It is not working perfectly, because I have set the domain to allow
specified controls after matching ClassID's and Names. Every ActiveX
Control has its own unique ClassID however, every instance of that
control contains its specific ClassID. Thus my issue:

Domain policy is set to disallow all ActiveX controls EXCEPT those
specified in the policy.
The end users are unable to download and install the specified controls.
