Adding Trusted Sites through Group Policy

The necessity for pushing out Trusted Sites arose out of our moving to Office365 for the Office Suite including Outlook and Exchange. 

Microsoft had a long list of sites for that zone. 

Step 1 was manually typing them into a clean PC.  

Step 2 was going into the Regedit.exe and finding the key for Trust Sites. 

It is found by going to: 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains

And exporting them to a Shared folder on the Network

Step 3 is to create a Group Policy Object with a Logon Script

The script I made was the following:

IF NOT EXIST "C:\Apps" MD C:\Apps

COPY /B /S /Y "\\ServerName\GPDocuments\domains.reg" "C:\Apps\domains.reg"

REG IMPORT "C:\Apps\domains.reg"

I saved it as a .cmd and then added it to the default location that come up when you choose “Logon,” “Add a Script,” and then “Browse.”   You can just drag you “Add_trusted_sites.cmd” into the location that the browse opened.

This copies the key from the network shared folder to a folder on the PC and then imports it to the registry without any pop ups.
