Hello, Is it possible to set a group policy that will place websites that I specify into the "Trusted Sites" on Each Windows XP computer? I'm looking but I don't see that option.

Sure: edit the appropriate GPO and navigate to User Configuration / Windows Settings / Internet Explorer Maintenance / Security. Edit the "Security Zones and Content Ratings" option and select "Import the current security zones and privacy settings".

Do the following...

1. Log on as a member of the Domain Admins group.

2. Open the Active Directory Users and Computers MMC snap-in.

3. Right-click the domain or Organizational Unit where you want to create the GPO and press Properties.

4. Select the Group Policy tab.

5. Press New.

6. Type a name for the new GPO and press Enter.

7. Press the Edit button.

8. Navigate through User Configuration / Windows Settings / Internet Explorer Maintenance / Security.

9. Right-click Security Zones and Content Ratings in the right-hand pane and press Properties.

10. Select Import the current security zones and privacy settings. If prompted, press Continue.

11. Press Modify Settings.

12. Select Trusted Sites and press the Sites button.

13. Type the full URL of the site you wish to add and press Add.

14. Press Close (or OK) and OK.

15. Press Close (or OK) until all dialog boxes are closed, and close any snap-in windows.

16. Allow sufficient time for the policy to propagate throughout the domain.

17. Open CMD (Start - Run - CMD - Enter) and type gpupdate /force

Every machine authenticating to the AD afterwards will receive new GP

I had tried that earlier but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

Are you sure you didn't import the settings in Preference Mode?

I followed the steps as outline above. I'll wait a few minutes (may be an hour) and see if it works.

Check if the GPO is applied, using gpresult

Ok, I just logged someone of and had them log back on and it's working. Thanks guys.
