As you can see below the IE zone will push out to your users and it will be added to the trusted zone list, while still allowing them to add and remove other zones from the list.
TIP: As always the native group policy settings will take precedence over Group Policy Preferences therefore if you have the “Site to Zone Assignment List” setting configured as well this will override (not merge) the above settings (See image below).

Where on earth did you find this little gem?
I worked this one out on my own a few years back, Should have written a blog / guide back then! I’d be a millionnaire!!
But still – this is a great way to allow the users to add their own trusts, of on site to fix a broken site without returning to GPO Editor just for a single user!
I wasn’t able to get this to work. I tried it on both User and Computer settings. There was no sub folder under ‘hotmail.com’. The domain I’m trying to remove.
I’m unable to get this to work. Even the group policy results test shows it is successful, but it never shows up in the IE Internet settings. I’ve added a REG entry to also “uncheck” the require https: and that doesn’t show up either. I’ve test on both WinXP with IE8 and Win7 with IE9. Same results. I’ve looked at the registry and see nothing added. Plus, there are no errors in the event log.
Strange behavior.
I just troubleshooted with the same problem that it was not working with no error message to troubleshoot anywhere.
SOLUTION: I fired up regedit and navigated to “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\” There I saw the site I wanted to add as a sub-key to “ZoneMap” and not as a subkey to “Domains” as it is supposed to be. The “Domains” subkey was empty. I deleted the site from “ZoneMap” and then did a gpupdate. When I then refreshed regedit the site was created no the correct location and everything was working. 🙂
Thanks for the info, but this isn’t my experience at all.
I’ve checked the registry for this same error and see nothing. I’ve even searched the entire registry for the domain name, and it finds nothing…
I’ve got a computer policy that is applied to the OU where the computer lives. All items in the policy are updating successfully, except for the registry entries. I’ve run the group policy results and see no errors. I’ve even created the policy by using the registry wizard and importing the items from my local registry. When I check the local registry on my test machines, I see nothing change. If I add the entries via IE, then they show up in the correct places. I’m stumped why this isn’t working…
Tough one. I often had typos in the GP preferences mess things up for me in the past, also the correct amount of \ signs in the key path is important. Personally I have never used it in computer policy, but I’ve always used user policy, perhaps that is worth a try? Also I always use “Replace” and not “update” in the GP Preference.
What do you mean by, “the correct amount of signs in the key path”? What is a sign?
I had the same thought about user policy yesterday and tried that as well. No luck. I haven’t tried the “Replace” option. I’ll test that next.
A bit clumsy explained, sorry about that. But I meant where you put the (slash) \ in the path. “Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\*.contoso.com” is the correct path, but if you write “\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\*.contoso.com” or “Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\*.contoso.com\” then it will fail.
Not sure why but I can’t make this work at all. The GPP does not write the reg entries at all. I tried changing the action to create and also update, but no difference. Any suggestions?
well John, you don’t really tell me much of your setup so there is not much for me to go on here. But in general my checklist would be something like this:
1. It’s a GPP setting under the user (not computer) and it writes to the HKCU hive? 2. Use “replace” 3. Trippe-check that the path is written correctly. For example: “Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\*.contoso.com” 4. Use “gpresult -r” on the client computer to check that the user gets the GPP 5. If the user gets the GPP, check the application log on the computer. If a GPP fails you will see it in the application log at the time the user logs in and it usually tells you why.
That’s my suggestions at the moment.
You nailed the problem – I was using a computer policy, not a user policy. As soon as a rebuilt it as a user policy, everything fell into place perfectly. Thanks for posting this, it was a huge timesaver!
You’re welcome, I’m glad I could help. 🙂
Excellent post. I was just trying to figure out the exact registry keys to modify when I found this page. Nice work !
For the same case.. My user wants to add site to their trusted site list.. Please help…
Mahfuj: I’m not sure what you mean. If you use GPP to configure the IE zones then the users are allowed to add sites to them. Do you want ot prevernt them from adding sites to the trusted site list? Or do you want to allow them to add sites to the trusted site list?
Yes.. I want my user will add sites to trusted site list….. But “Add this website to the zone” field and “Add” button is gray out.. for all users.
Yes.. I want to allow my users to add sites to trusted site list….. But “Add this website to the zone†field and “Add†button is gray out.. for all users.
This means you have the administrative template still configured for the user so it will prevent them from editing their zone list. You have to be sure that you ONLY configure IE site zones via Group Policy Preferences…
I agree with Alan, it is most likely another GPO that contains settings for the IE zones, either in computer or user settings.
Thanks… I’ve figureout the issue.. Site to zone assignments list should be Not Configured for both Computer and user configuration settings….
You have a typo in the third paragraph that starts with “Hoever it’s a little complicted. Typo: “As you can see below the zone is store at HKCU\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains…” should be “As you can see below the zone is store at HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains…” The “Windows” part of the path is missing 😉
@KJS thanks.. I have corrected…
What versions of IE does this method support?
I have not tested it… but I think will work with all versions.
I am really loathing the decision by MS to go down the GPP route without replacing existing functionality with something equally simple. With this Zone mapping and the amount of work with getting favourites working it is a nightmare trying to replace existing simple easily updated GPOs with GPPs, I am not looking forward to doing it for Office.
Helpful. Thanks
Worked perfectly; delivering the following record helped the annoying windows security prompts for executing VBS/HTA files off network shares: file://privateDomainName.FQDN 1 file://privateDomainName 1
Many thanks,
My spouse and I absolutely love your blog and find a lot of your post’s to be exactly what I’m looking for. Would you offer guest writers to write content for you personally? I wouldn’t mind producing a post or elaborating on some of the subjects you write concerning here. Again, awesome weblog!
That brings us to quite possibly the most intriguing match-up to that point of the season when Oregon comes to Rice-Eccles. Alabama will try to rebound from their loss to the Sooners and rank fourth in the Sporting News college football preseason rankings. Ole Miss and Mississippi State moving the Egg Bowl away from Jackson, Miss.
What’s up, always i used to check web site posts here in the early hours in the morning, because i like to find out more and more.
Alan, great post. I’m having this issue my question is would this solution work for widows 7?
Yes it will
Very helpful posting, many thanks.
Has anyone had trouble getting this to work with Windows XP? It works well with all my Win& PC’s but is hit and miss on the XP.
Had a similar Issue, however a little different. This article may help you… http://www.grishbi.com/2015/03/unable-to-change-ie-zone-security-settings/
Excellent work Alan.
I know it is mentioned, but I would re-emphasize http or https as required.
As Per-Torben Sørensen suggested, use Replace. I’ve had issues with update instead of replace so I always use replace. It seems update doesn’t add something if it is missing, but replace does.
Remember rsop.msc is your friend. It doesn’t show the registry changes, but does show if an additional policy is applied that overrides the registry settings. With these specific settings, you can do a C:\>gpupdate /force, close and re-open the browser or re-run rsop.msc to see if the changes took place. All without logging out and back in, or rebooting.
Best, David
Much appreciated. Need to retain as much of the admin aspects for people doing programming while still giving them the tools needed for internal sites.
I am able to get the GP to work fine, however the site I am adding still doesn’t come up under the Intranet Zone as I have set. I am trying to add the internal IP of the site – 192.0.0.25. When I add this manually in IE, it works fine. When done through GP, it shows in IE under the Intranet zone, but doesn’t get treated like an intranet zone (File > properties, shows it as Internet). Is there a way to use the IP address instead of the domain name?
We needed to add a list of no less than 10 sites to the trusted list. Rather than doing it individually as you have shown, I exported the “Domains” key to a shared drive and then created a logon script that copies it to the local machine and then imports it to the registry. Now, whenever we need to add more trusted sites, I can just update the reg key in the shared location.
Question on using Wild Cards in the URL. I just found your post yesterday and am very excited about testing out using preferences in place of policies for our list of trusted sites.
I have several URLs that I am using wildcards in. If I enter the wildcard in the key path (Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\*.contoso.com) I end up with this listed in trusted sites in IE: http://*.contoso.com .
Will this function properly for all domains that add a prefix to .contoso.com? Also, is there anyway to use a wildcard to it would work with either http or https sites? We have several of those.
Excellent article…..working for me. One thing I want to mention that If you want to add just e.g., http://google.com it is working fine. but if you want to add http://google.com/xyz then you should add google.com/xyz after \Domains\ e.g. Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\google.com/xyz
Thanks for posting.

Site sponsor, featured post.
In this post we will see the steps on how to add sites to Internet Explorer restricted zone.
To configure Internet Explorer security zones there are multiple ways to do it, in this post we will configure a group policy for the users and use Site to Zone assignment list policy setting to add the websites or URL to the restricted site zone.
This policy setting allows you to manage a list of sites that you want to associate with a particular security zone. Internet Explorer has 4 security zones, numbered 1-4, and these are used by this policy setting to associate sites to zones.
The zone numbers have associated security settings that apply to all of the sites in the zone. Using the Site to Zone assignment list policy setting we will see how to add sites to the Internet Explorer restricted zone.
Please note that Site to Zone Assignment List policy setting is available for both Computer Configuration and User Configuration.
Launch the Group Policy Management Tool, right click on the domain and create a new group policy. Right the policy and click Edit .
In the Group Policy Management Editor navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer > Internet Control Panel > Security Page.
If you want to apply the group policy for the computers then navigate to – Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explore r > Internet Control Panel > Security Page.
On the right hand side, right click the policy setting Site to Zone Assignment List and click Edit .
Click Enabled first and then under the Options click Show . You need to enter the zone assignments. As stated earlier in this post Internet Explorer has 4 security zones and the zone numbers have associated security settings that apply to all of the sites in the zone.
We will be adding a URL to the Restricted Sites Zone . So enter the value name as the site URL that to Restricted Sites zone and enter the value as 4 . Click OK and close the Group Policy Management Editor.
We will be applying the group policy to a group that consists of users. In the Security Filtering section, click Add and select the group .
Login to the client computer and launch the Internet Explorer . Click on Tools > Internet Options > Security Tab > Restricted Sites > Click Sites .
Notice that the URL is added to the Restricted Sites zone and user cannot remove it from the list.

Good article Prajwal .Detailed Explanation on how to add sites to internet explorer restricted zone .Keep it up .I seen your videos also in YouTube its really great.Thanks for sharing this info.
Hi Prajwal, Thank you for your article. Is there any way to block sites in all browsers.
Block all sites ?. Why would you do that ?.
I think you misunderstood the user’s question. The user was asking if there was a way to block any particular website in ALL browsers. Not just Internet Explorer.

Managing and configuring Internet Explorer can be complicated. This is especially true when users meddle with the numerous settings it houses. Users may even unknowingly enable the execution of malicious codes. This highlights the importance of securing Internet Explorer.
In this blog, we’ll talk about restricting users from changing security settings, setting trusted sites, preventing them from changing security zone policies, adding or deleting sites from security zones, and removing the Security tab altogether to ensure that users have a secure environment when using their browser.
Restricting users from changing security settings
A security zone is a list of websites at the same security level. These zones can be thought of as invisible boundaries that prevent certain web-based applications from performing unauthorized actions. These zones easily provide the appropriate level of security for the various types of web content that users are likely to encounter. Usually, sites are added or removed from a zone depending on the functionality available to users on that particular site.
To set trusted sites via GPO
Figure 1. Assigning sites to the Trusted Sites zone.
Figure 2. Enabling the Site to Zone Assignment List policy.
By enabling this policy setting, you can manage a list of sites that you want to associate with a particular security zone. See Figure 2.
Restricting users from changing security zone policies
This prevents users from changing the security zone settings set by the administrator. Once enabled, this policy disables the Custom Level button and the security-level slider on the Security tab in the Internet Options dialog box. See Figure 3.
Restricting users from adding/deleting sites from security zones
This disables the site management settings for security zones, and prevents users from changing site management settings for security zones established by the administrator. Users won’t be able to add or remove websites from the Trusted Sites and Restricted Sites zones or alter settings for the Local Intranet zone. See Figure 3.
Figure 3. Enabling Security Zones: Do not allow users to change policies and Security Zones: Do not allow users to add/delete sites .
Removing the Security tab
The Security tab in Internet Explorer’s options controls access to websites by applying security settings to various download and browsing options, including defining security levels for respective security zones. By removing this tab, users will no longer be able to see or change the settings established by the administrator.
Figure 4. Enabling the Disable the Security page policy. Enabling this policy prevents users from seeing and changing settings for security zones such as scripting, downloads, and user authentication. See Figure 4.
There’s no denying the importance of securing Internet Explorer for any enterprise. By setting security levels, restricting users from changing security zone policies, preventing them from adding or deleting sites from security zones, and removing the Security tab, users will not be able to change any security settings in Microsoft Internet Explorer that have been established by the administrator. This helps you gain more control over Internet Explorer’s settings in your environment.

Is there a way to enable Site to Zone assignment list and still let the user enter their own sites to the trusted list?
Hi Joe. You need to disable the below setting to achieve the requirement.
Note: Even if the policy is not configured, users can add their own sites. Only when the policy is enabled, users can’t add their own sites to trusted sites.
Thanks a lot.

This seems like it shouldn't be hard, but I haven't had any luck with either guessing or searching. I'll admit I'm no Windows guru, so forgive me if the answer should be obvious.
I'm trying to get Windows to stop giving me security warnings when I open files or links from a DFS share. I already have a GPO in place which does this for a couple of other network shares:
Here, I've added host1.mydomain.org and host2.mydomain.org to zone 1 (intranet), and the network shares from these hosts are correctly treated as trusted intranet sites.
However, I now want to add \\mydomain.org\shares to the intranet zone as well. Adding it just like that appears not to work (and on my client machine it appears in the list as file://*.mydomain.org ). Other things I've tried include *.mydomain.org and explicitly listing the hosts where the DFS shares originate.
"Turn on automatic detection of the intranet" is also enabled, although I've never been clear on how that actually works.
Servers and DCs are 2008 R2 and clients are (mostly) 7 Pro.
Edit: The next day, it appears that the listing of mydomain.org is in fact having the desired effect. I hadn't logged out and back in during testing; I just did a gpupdate /force and confirmed that the GPO settings appeared in the Internet Options dialog. Is this a bug or just another arcane Windows thing that I don't quite understand?
When refreshing group policy it is usually necessary to log out and for some settings a restart (sometimes 2!) is necessary. I wouldn't call it arcane but it won't be obvious if you haven't documentation regarding group policy processing.
The shell (explorer.exe) is caching the policy. Simply restart the shell and many settings will start to be applied. There is no need to log out/back in for many scenarios.
Exiting the shell:

You may want to define an Internet Explorer setting called Security Zone using a group policy.
This settings allows you to assign some specific URL’s to an Internet security zone; each security zone has specific settings such as automatic authentication, Active X control behavior…
So, to define this settings using GPO, you have to open your Group Policy management console, create a new GPO and edit it.
The GPO settings is Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Internet Control Panel\Security Page\Site to Zone Assignment List
When you edit this setting (Site to Zone Assignment List) you have to define the URL and the security zone (using a number from 1 (Intranet) to 4 (Restricted Sites) [2: Trusted Sites, 3: Internet].
BUT, if you are using Internet Explorer 7 or later with this setting configured, your end-users will not be able to add their own URL’s (such as their banking site).
So, if you want to configure site to zone assignment while allowing end-users to add their own URL’s, you must use another setting: Internet Explorer Maintenance .
This settings is User Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Internet Explorer Maintenance\Security\Security Zone and Content Ratings
Open the Security Zone and Content Ratings and choose Import the current security zones and privacy settings
By hitting the Modify Settings button you can assign the URL to the Security Zone you want to use as well as the security configuration (user authentication, Active X…).
This time, your Site to Zone configuration is deployed to your end users while you’re allowing them to add their own URL too.

Microsoft Internet Explorer has a built-in security feature that classify sites into four separated zones , namely Internet , Local Intranet , Trusted Sites , and Restricted Sites . Each of these zones has different way of handling site contents . For example, downloading content from sites in Internet zone will prompt a message to the user before it is able to be downloaded, while downloading content from sites in Local Intranet zone can go without any prompt . It is important to configure site zone mapping correctly. In a domain environment, administrator can put less effort to configure internet site zone using Group Policy Preferences .
There are numerous way to configure internet site zone using Group Policy Object , but configuring it this way will disable the user from manually adding sites to a zone . On a dynamic environment, it is best to configure internet site zone using Group Policy Preferences instead, as this way can provide consistency of the site zone mapping without limiting the user ability to add new site zone mapping .
The example below will show how to create Group Policy Preferences to add site www.mustbegeek.com into Trusted Sites zone.
Use Group Policy Management console to locate one of these settings below:
In this example, we want this policy to be applied at the user level so the setting explained in first way will be used.
When the setting has been located, right click on a blank space in the right pane and choose New > Registry Item
The registry to be created to map a site into zone will be kept at Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains . It is a little bit complicated as one site will be stored as a key with the site zone as the value, in other words, to store www.mustbegeek.com as a Trusted Sites , we need to append “ \mustbegeek.com\www ” at the end of the above mentioned path. See figure below for example:
On the value name write “ http ” or “ https ” depending on the protocol used by the site, and set the value type as REG_DWORD . Then, fill in the value data with “ 0000002 ” in hexadecimal to indicate that it is in the Trusted Site zone.
Repeat step 2 above to make mapping for other sites. Adjust the value data according to the table below to map it into the desired zones:
00000001 | Local site zone |
00000002 | Trusted site zone |
00000003 | Internet zone |
00000004 | Restricted site zone |
Check the policy result on client’s Internet Explorer > Settings > Internet Options > Security tab . For example select Trusted Sites icon and click on Sites button.
The site listed for the selected zone will be displayed.
Site zone mapping configured on Group Policy will be reflected on the Internet Explorer setting once policy is applied. If the policy is not applied as intended, administrator can check into the registry path as above and see if the required keys and values has been created correctly as shown below:
Remember, the command gpupdate /force can be used to force the policy to be refreshed on demand, and the command gpresult /r on the user can be used to verify the policy object has been applied.
And that’s how to configure internet site zone using Group Policy Preferences.

thanks! I was just looking for this exact solution!
Hello Spiceworks,
I’ve run into an issue and cannot find a solution. Our company uses a web site that requires IE mode in Edge and Trusted Site settings to work properly. Now the issue, the old way of setting Trusted sites was an IE windows template (WC/IE/ICP/SP/Site to Zone) and it does not look like it applies to Windows 11 because it no longer has IE within it.
How can I make Trusted sites with custom security settings on Windows 11? Is this just going to be a giant regedit?
Control panel > internet options > trusted sites
Computer Configuration — Administrative Tools — Windows Components — Internet Explorer — Internet Control Panel — Security Page and then double click to the “Site to zone assignment list”
Hi Rod, I have the site to zone already setup for windows 10 and the policy is targeting this machine as well. The issue is that Windows 11 pulls no setting items from the policy. Is there a new admx pack for Win 11 I may have missed and/or can this setting be done by a registry edit to mass deploy?
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=103507
Perhaps this link will help, if this is not the exact GPO you require, use CTRL+F to find it
@rod-it turns out I’m an idiot… the GPO settings work on windows 11, but did not realize the local admin is not an authenticated user for GPO purposes

In managed environments, administrators can use Group Policy to assign specific sites to Zones (via "Site to Zone Assignment List" policy) and specify the settings for URLActions on a per-zone basis. Beyond manual administrative or user assignment of sites to Zones, other heuristics could assign sites to the Local Intranet Zone.
