I was wondering if it is at all possible to make the following changes for trusted domains in Internet Explorer with PowerShell.
Internet Explorer settings I wish to change:
Turns out that it was!
Here's what i did: (Run powershell as an Administrator)
#Setting IExplorer settings
Write-Verbose "Now configuring IE"
#Add http://website.com as a trusted Site/Domain
#Navigate to the domains folder in the registry
set-location "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings"
set-location ZoneMap\Domains
#Create a new folder with the website name
new-item website/ -Force
set-location website/
new-itemproperty . -Name * -Value 2 -Type DWORD -Force
new-itemproperty . -Name http -Value 2 -Type DWORD -Force
new-itemproperty . -Name https -Value 2 -Type DWORD -Force
#Navigate to the trusted domains folder in the registry:
#Go to registry folder for Trusted Domains
#Zone 2 in this case resembles the trusted domains (Or zones if you'd prefer)
Set-Location "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\zones\2"
Now you have all your settings pointed out as values. The trick is to find the proper values per setting. In my case I found the values on: http://support.microsoft.com/KB/182569 (A bit midway on the page)
Now we need to know what the preferred values are. In my case I found that value 0 is Enabled, 1 is Disabled and 3 is (if supported) prompting.
Next off it's pretty simple.
-ActiveX controls and plug-ins: Allow ActiveX Filtering = Enable (2702)
new-itemproperty . -Name 2702 -Value 0 -Type DWORD -Force
-ActiveX controls and plug-ins: Allow previously unused ActiveX controls to run without prompt = Enable (1208)
new-itemproperty . -Name 1208 -Value 0 -Type DWORD -Force
