Windows 2003 Server
-------------------
If you're installing IE-SPYAD on Windows 2003 Server, there are a few special considerations that you should keep in mind:
1) The INSTALL.BAT installation utility does not work on Windows 2003 Server
INSTALL.BAT makes uses of the CHOICE command line utility, which has undergone significant changes in Windows 2003. See the following
for more information:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/d...-us/choice.asp
Specifically, the MENU command for CHOICE has changed, rendering the INSTALL.BAT incompatible with the Windows 2003 version of
CHOICE.
Thus, to use the use IE-SPYAD you will need to merge .REG files manually in order to install and uninstall the IE-SPYAD Restricted
sites list. To do so, follow the instructions contained above for "manually" installing and uninstalling IE-SPYAD.
2) The .REG files may need to be modified before merging
By default, Windows 2003 Server uses a slightly different Registry location to store zone entries for the Internet Security zones of
Internet Explorer. Where all previous versions of Internet Explorer store zone entries in these two Registry keys:
Domains:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\
Ranges:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Ranges\
...the version of Internet Explorer that ships with Windows 2003 Server stores them here:
Domains:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Internet Settings\ZoneMap\EscDomains\
Ranges:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Internet Settings\ZoneMap\EscRanges\
In short, the DOMAINS key has become the ESCDOMAINS key, and the RANGES key has become the ESCRANGES key.
Before merging any of the .REG files to install or uninstall IE-SPYAD (both the IE-ADS.REG installer and the IE-ADS-UNINST.REG
uninstaller), you'll need to do a manual search & replace in your favorite plain text editor to change the Registry keys to match the
Windows 2003 Server locations.
The version of Internet Explorer that ships with Windows 2003 Server can be configured to use the same Registry keys as other
versions of Internet Explorer on other versions of Windows. To do so, you must disable the Internet Explorer "Enhanced Security
Configuration" component. When the "Enhanced Security Configuration" component is installed, Internet Explorer uses the special
ESCDOMAINS and ESCRANGES Registry keys to store security zone entries. When the "Enhanced Security Configuration" component is
disabled, Internet Explorer uses the same Registry keys as other versions of Internet Explorer.
To disable the Internet Explorer "Enhanced Security COnfiguration":
1. Open "Add/Remove Programs" Control Panel applet.
2. Click the "Add/Remove Windows Components" button.
3. Uncheck the box for "Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration."
4. Press the "Next" button to finish the reconfiguration.
