Windows – How to add a URL with a Windows Group Policy into a client’s “Local Intranet Zone”

group-policyinternet explorerwindows

I'm trying to add a specific web server URL into the local Intranet Zone on my client PCs using a Group Policy. Any ideas what policy to apply?

I can do it via the Internet Explorer Internet Options… GUI dialog and it works great, but I need to push this policy out to a number of PCs.

Thanks in advance,
Dan

You need a policy that applies to Authenticated Users, and in that policy you need to set the following option:

User config | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Internet Explorer | Internet Control Panel | Security Page

Enable the option Site to Zone Assignment List and then enter the site, and the zone you want to assign it to, eg.

(1 = Intranet Zone, 2 = Trusted Sites Zone, 3 = Internet Zone, 4 = Restricted Sites Zone)
