Our web site is working great for 99.99% of our users, but a few people (all of whom use Internet Explorer) are running into an error. Most pages on the site load fine, but for one specific page (the same page for all affected users), all they get is: Internet explorer cannot display the webpage It doesn’t matter whether the page is accessed over http or https – it fails to load either way. Every [...]

I can’t seem to stop the IPv6 address being registered by our server. Does anyone know how? This is causing slow browsing issues when browsing to spiceworks server using Internet Explorer. The problem is due to Internet Explorer accessing spiceworks using an IPv6 address when it should be using a IPv4 address. I’ve followed the instructions below on how to stop IPv6 addresses being registered, but that didn’t help. How to remove or disable IPv6 [...]

We had a major network issue where our secondary domain controller (responsible for Win2k3 boxes) died and had to be rebuilt (I beleive this is what happened, I am a developer not network admin). Anyway, I am working remotely via VPN at the moment and since this happened, I am getting an authentication box when trying to access certain areas of SDL Tridion via IE (Tridion 2009 SP1 is IE only) it seems like somewhere [...]

Okay, here’s the issue at hand – Internet Explorer is behaving badly (as in the opposite of Google Chrome and FireFox) and when users save an image to our file server, the temp bit is set, so DFS doesn’t replicate the file. See this article: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/406.dfsr-does-not-replicate-temporary-files.aspx The workflow for the issue here is: A staff member receives a file (usually an image) from Outlook or the web. They open the file, it opens in Internet [...]

We have an Apache Subversion server that we store (amongst other things) all of our documentation on. We have a lot of Word, Excel, PDF etc. documents in svn, and all of our users use TortoiseSVN as their client interface. A lot of those users will also browse the repo through a web browser, which (unfortunately) is often Internet Explorer. Recently we started trialling Office 2010 (coming from 2003) and found that documents from the [...]

I am trying to find some settings in GPOs that explicitly say, “Block 3rd Party cookies” in IE. I am looking under policies>admin template>windows components>IE> IE control panel>Security page. Should I look elsewhere for these? I don’t really see this under individual zones either. I could possibly do this just by configuring the default user profile’s privacy settings but I would rather do this with a GPO. Has anyone does this? Thanks! Asked by Chadddada [...]

I show jBoss logs via browsers. In Firefox each line of log is ended by a new line (as it should) – IE 8 and 9 shows the entire log as a huge blob and not with new line after each line in the log file. When I open a file with .txt extension, IE and Firefox adds < pre > tag around the content and content is displayed fine. But when the file is [...]

I want to secure our centrally managed computers better and it is very difficult to automatically deploy the java runtime, but how to do that is another question. I find the security of Java catastrophic, even if it is fully patched: It looks like if the user says yes to the innocent question “Do you trust this certificate”, java can do whatever it wants. Java webstart also seems to be an universal entry point for [...]

While running in the protected mode, I noticed the Internet Explorer has permission for internet SID S-1-5-5-0-348885. Which user this SID maps to? Asked by Rockr According to this, that SID is for Logon Session, and is unique for each session. The last two values are not static. Answered by MDMarra Check more discussion of this question.

I’d love to have the peace of mind of knowing that none of my desktops have toolbars, “browser helpers” or any other crap like that running. Has anybody done this successfully with Group Policy? I found this article, but it’s not all that clear: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883256 If I want to ban all plugins but the Google Toolbar, Flash & Windows Update on XP, there isn’t a clear explanation on how to do it. It seems that [...]
