Getting “Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration is enabled” message? Learn how to disable Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration Server 2016.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Microsoft Windows Server<\/strong> is a server operating system which is specifically developed to serve as a platform for running networked applications such as Active Directory<\/a><\/strong>, DNS<\/a> <\/strong>(Domain Name System<\/em><\/span>), and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol<\/em><\/span>) etc.<\/p>\n

Ensuring that Windows Server is safe from attacks and malware<\/a> are one of the most important concerns of the network administrators.<\/p>\n

This is why Microsoft has developed Enhanced Security Configuration<\/strong> or IE ESC<\/strong> which protects a Windows server from malicious websites and prevents malware.<\/p>\n

If you want to access a website properly or get full functionality of a website on\u00a0Internet Explorer web browser then you will have to add it to the Trusted sites zone<\/strong> in IE.<\/p>\n

\"disable<\/p>\n

By default, Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration is enabled<\/strong> on Windows Server 2016. When you start the Microsoft Internet Explorer, you receive the following message:<\/p>\n

\n

Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration is enabled<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration is currently enabled on your server. This configures a number of security settings that define how users browse Internet and intranet websites. The configuration also reduces the exposure of your server to websites that might pose a security risk.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If the IE ESC is enabled on your server and you try to open any website, a pop-up window will appear on the screen saying “Content from the website listed below is being blocked by the Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n

\"disable<\/p>\n

As you have received this security warning, now you are having two options with one being adding the website to list of Trusted sites zone<\/strong> or you can click on Close<\/strong> button to open in a restricted mode.<\/p>\n

If you only access few specific websites then it\u2019s easy to add those websites to the Trusted sites list on IE to open all their content properly. But if you browse multiple websites in a day and want to access all websites<\/a><\/strong> (including all third-party content too<\/em><\/span>) without adding them into the Trusted sites zone on Internet Explorer then you need to disable enhanced security configuration.<\/p>\n
