How to turn off Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration in Windows Server 2008

Posted on 27.Jul 2010 by in Microsoft, Windows Server 2008 R2

Prior to Windows Server 2008, the Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration (IE ESC) feature could be disabled using Add/Remove Programs and choosing Windows Components. However since Windows Server 2008, this is now only configurable using server manager.

Open Server Manager, and from the Server Summary > Security Information section select ‘Configure IE ESC’.

Personally I think this feature is a pain in the backside, especially as those using Windows Server 2008 are not your average computer users. That said, only switch this off if you know what you are doing.
