Caution: Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration is not enabled

Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration is an option that is provided in Windows Server 2003 operating systems. You can use it to quickly enhance Internet Explorer security settings for all users.

When you enable Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration, it sets Internet Explorer security settings to limit how users browse Internet and intranet Web sites. This reduces the exposure of your server to Web sites that might pose a security risk. For more information, including the complete list of changes that are implemented by Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration, see Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration overview.
