Policy CSP - InternetExplorer

Article
09/27/2024

Tip

This CSP contains ADMX-backed policies which require a special SyncML format to enable or disable. You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For details, see Understanding ADMX-backed policies.

The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see CDATA Sections.

This CSP contains some settings that are under development and only applicable for Windows Insider Preview builds. These settings are subject to change and may have dependencies on other features or services in preview.

AddSearchProvider

./User/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/InternetExplorer/AddSearchProvider

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/InternetExplorer/AddSearchProvider

This policy setting allows you to add a specific list of search providers to the user's default list of search providers. Normally, search providers can be added from third-party toolbars or in Setup. The user can also add a search provider from the provider's website.

If you enable this policy setting, the user can add and remove search providers, but only from the set of search providers specified in the list of policy keys for search providers (found under [HKCU or HKLM\Software\policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes]).

Note

This list can be created from a custom administrative template file. For information about creating this custom administrative template file, see the Internet Explorer documentation on search providers.

If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, the user can configure their list of search providers unless another policy setting restricts such configuration.

Scope	Editions	Applicable OS
✅ Device ✅ User	✅ Pro ✅ Enterprise ✅ Education ✅ Windows SE ✅ IoT Enterprise / IoT Enterprise LTSC	✅ Windows 10, version 1703 [10.0.15063] and later

./User/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/InternetExplorer/AllowAddOnList

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/InternetExplorer/AllowAddOnList

This policy setting allows you to manage a list of add-ons to be allowed or denied by Internet Explorer. Add-ons in this case are controls like ActiveX Controls, Toolbars, and Browser Helper Objects (BHOs) which are specifically written to extend or enhance the functionality of the browser or web pages.

This list can be used with the 'Deny all add-ons unless specifically allowed in the Add-on List' policy setting, which defines whether add-ons not listed here are assumed to be denied.

If you enable this policy setting, you can enter a list of add-ons to be allowed or denied by Internet Explorer. For each entry that you add to the list, enter the following information:

Name of the Value - the CLSID (class identifier) for the add-on you wish to add to the list. The CLSID should be in brackets for example, '{000000000-0000-0000-0000-0000000000000}'. The CLSID for an add-on can be obtained by reading the OBJECT tag from a Web page on which the add-on is referenced.

Value - A number indicating whether Internet Explorer should deny or allow the add-on to be loaded. To specify that an add-on should be denied enter a 0 (zero) into this field. To specify that an add-on should be allowed, enter a 1 (one) into this field. To specify that an add-on should be allowed and also permit the user to manage the add-on through Add-on Manager, enter a 2 (two) into this field.

If you disable this policy setting, the list is deleted. The 'Deny all add-ons unless specifically allowed in the Add-on List' policy setting will still determine whether add-ons not in this list are assumed to be denied.

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/InternetExplorer/AllowInternetExplorerStandardsMode

This policy setting controls how Internet Explorer displays local intranet content. Intranet content is defined as any webpage that belongs to the local intranet security zone.

If you enable this policy setting, Internet Explorer uses the current user agent string for local intranet content. Additionally, all local intranet Standards Mode pages appear in the Standards Mode available with the latest version of Internet Explorer. The user can't change this behavior through the Compatibility View Settings dialog box.
If you disable this policy setting, Internet Explorer uses an Internet Explorer 7 user agent string (with an additional string appended) for local intranet content. Additionally, all local intranet Standards Mode pages appear in Internet Explorer 7 Standards Mode. The user can't change this behavior through the Compatibility View Settings dialog box.
If you don't configure this policy setting, Internet Explorer uses an Internet Explorer 7 user agent string (with an additional string appended) for local intranet content. Additionally, all local intranet Standards Mode pages appear in Internet Explorer 7 Standards Mode. This option results in the greatest compatibility with existing webpages, but newer content written to common Internet standards may be displayed incorrectly. This option matches the default behavior of Internet Explorer.

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/InternetExplorer/AllowInternetZoneTemplate

This template policy setting allows you to configure policy settings in this zone consistent with a selected security level, for example, Low, Medium Low, Medium, or High.

If you enable this template policy setting and select a security level, all values for individual settings in the zone will be overwritten by the standard template defaults.
If you disable this template policy setting, no security level is configured.
If you don't configure this template policy setting, no security level is configured.

Note. Local Machine Zone Lockdown Security and Network Protocol Lockdown operate by comparing the settings in the active URL's zone against those in the Locked-Down equivalent zone. If you select a security level for any zone (including selecting no security), the same change should be made to the Locked-Down equivalent.

Note. It's recommended to configure template policy settings in one Group Policy object (GPO) and configure any related individual policy settings in a separate GPO. You can then use Group Policy management features (for example, precedence, inheritance, or enforce) to apply individual settings to specific targets.

./User/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/InternetExplorer/AllowSiteToZoneAssignmentList

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/InternetExplorer/AllowSiteToZoneAssignmentList

This policy setting allows you to manage a list of sites that you want to associate with a particular security zone. These zone numbers have associated security settings that apply to all of the sites in the zone.

Internet Explorer has 4 security zones, numbered 1-4, and these are used by this policy setting to associate sites to zones. They are: (1) Intranet zone, (2) Trusted Sites zone, (3) Internet zone, and (4) Restricted Sites zone. Security settings can be set for each of these zones through other policy settings, and their default settings are: Trusted Sites zone (Low template), Intranet zone (Medium-Low template), Internet zone (Medium template), and Restricted Sites zone (High template). (The Local Machine zone and its locked down equivalent have special security settings that protect your local computer).

If you enable this policy setting, you can enter a list of sites and their related zone numbers. The association of a site with a zone will ensure that the security settings for the specified zone are applied to the site. For each entry that you add to the list, enter the following information:

Valuename - A host for an intranet site, or a fully qualified domain name for other sites. The valuename may also include a specific protocol. For example, if you enter https://www.contoso.com as the valuename, other protocols aren't affected. If you enter just www.contoso.com, then all protocols are affected for that site, including http, https, ftp, and so on. The site may also be expressed as an IP address (e.g., 127.0.0.1) or range (e.g., 127.0.0.1-10). To avoid creating conflicting policies, don't include additional characters after the domain such as trailing slashes or URL path. For example, policy settings for www.contoso.com and www.contoso.com/mail would be treated as the same policy setting by Internet Explorer, and would therefore be in conflict.

Value - A number indicating the zone with which this site should be associated for security settings. The Internet Explorer zones described above are 1-4.

If you disable or don't configure this policy, users may choose their own site-to-zone assignments.

Note

This policy is a list that contains the site and index value.

Description framework properties:

Use this policy if your environment is configured to redirect sites from Internet Explorer 11 to Microsoft Edge. If any of the chosen versions aren't installed on the device, that preference will be bypassed.

If both the Windows Update for the next version of Microsoft Edge* and Microsoft Edge Stable channel are installed, the following behaviors occur:

If you disable or don't configure this policy, Microsoft Edge Stable channel is used. This is the default behavior.
If you enable this policy, you can configure redirected sites to open in up to three of the following channels where:

1 = Microsoft Edge Stable 2 = Microsoft Edge Beta version 77 or later 3 = Microsoft Edge Dev version 77 or later 4 = Microsoft Edge Canary version 77 or later.

If the Windows Update for the next version of Microsoft Edge* or Microsoft Edge Stable channel aren't installed, the following behaviors occur:

If you disable or don't configure this policy, Microsoft Edge version 45 or earlier is automatically used. This is the default behavior.
If you enable this policy, you can configure redirected sites to open in up to three of the following channels where:

./User/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/InternetExplorer/ConsistentMimeHandlingInternetExplorerProcesses

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/InternetExplorer/ConsistentMimeHandlingInternetExplorerProcesses

Internet Explorer uses Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) data to determine file handling procedures for files received through a Web server.

This policy setting determines whether Internet Explorer requires that all file-type information provided by Web servers be consistent. For example, if the MIME type of a file is text/plain but the MIME sniff indicates that the file is really an executable file, Internet Explorer renames the file by saving it in the Internet Explorer cache and changing its extension.

If you enable this policy setting, Internet Explorer requires consistent MIME data for all received files.
If you disable this policy setting, Internet Explorer won't require consistent MIME data for all received files.
If you don't configure this policy setting, Internet Explorer requires consistent MIME data for all received files.

./User/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/InternetExplorer/DisableActiveXVersionListAutoDownload

This setting determines whether IE automatically downloads updated versions of Microsoft's VersionList. XML. IE uses this file to determine whether an ActiveX control should be stopped from loading.

If you enable this setting, IE stops downloading updated versions of VersionList. XML. Turning off this automatic download breaks the out-of-date ActiveX control blocking feature by not letting the version list update with newly outdated controls, potentially compromising the security of your computer.
If you disable or don't configure this setting, IE continues to download updated versions of VersionList. XML.

This policy setting allows you to turn off support for Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 2.0, or SSL 3.0 in the browser. TLS and SSL are protocols that help protect communication between the browser and the target server. When the browser attempts to set up a protected communication with the target server, the browser and server negotiate which protocol and version to use. The browser and server attempt to match each other's list of supported protocols and versions, and they select the most preferred match.

If you enable this policy setting, the browser negotiates or doesn't negotiate an encryption tunnel by using the encryption methods that you select from the drop-down list.
If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, the user can select which encryption method the browser supports.

Note

SSL 2.0 is off by default and is no longer supported starting with Windows 10 Version 1607. SSL 2.0 is an outdated security protocol, and enabling SSL 2.0 impairs the performance and functionality of TLS 1.0.

Prevents intranet sites from being opened in any browser except Internet Explorer. But note that If the 'Send all sites not included in the Enterprise Mode Site List to Microsoft Edge' ('RestrictIE') policy isn't enabled, this policy has no effect.

If you enable this policy, all intranet sites are opened in Internet Explorer 11. The only exceptions are sites listed in your Enterprise Mode Site List.
If you disable or don't configure this policy, all intranet sites are automatically opened in Microsoft Edge.

We strongly recommend keeping this policy in sync with the 'Send all intranet sites to Internet Explorer' ('SendIntranetToInternetExplorer') policy. Additionally, it's best to enable this policy only if your intranet sites have known compatibility problems with Microsoft Edge.

Related policies:

Send all intranet sites to Internet Explorer ('SendIntranetToInternetExplorer')
Send all sites not included in the Enterprise Mode Site List to Microsoft Edge ('RestrictIE')
