Got to love Group Policy sometimes. We wanted to disable the setting “Access data sources across domains” under Internet Explorer>Security>Local intranet>Custom Level. So of course we set the GPO “Access data sources across domains” to disabled and …it doesn’t work! Users can still toggle the setting and we are still getting pop-ups in Internet Explorer. The solution? Enable the policy so you can disable it. Yup! Set it to enabled, then click the dropdown box and pick disabled.
Is this some voodoo Vulcan logic being used here?
