Question

When i try to open an application from a network mapped drive like P:\Example.exe i got this warning

"The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?"

When i try to copy a file from the share i got another warning:

I already have setup a gpo for the intranet zone with the server name, ip, domain dfs, but it seems that the link that point to the mapped driver like doesn't get resolved with the real path "\servername.domain\folder".

I've checked with net use and the Letter correspond to the same network path that is in the intranet zone, in fact if the link point directly to the server "\servername.domain\folder" i don't got any warning, any suggestion?

Hello,

When you try to run an application or copy a file from a network drive, the system may warn you about the security of the file. This is usually because the file does not come from a trusted source or does not have a valid digital signature.

Please check the Windows client and GPO to see if the security Settings on them are causing this problem.
