Q: When users start a program, they get a "file download" dialog
box, or an error message: "Windows cannot access the specified
device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions
to access the item."
A: Internet Explorer Enhanced Security (IEES) restricts access to
scripts, executable files, and other potentially unsafe files on a
UNC path unless the UNC path is added to the Local Intranet zone
explicitly. For example, if you want to access \\server\share
\setup.exe, you must add \\server to the Local Intranet zone.
On the Terminal Server, go to Control Panel - Internet Options -
Security - Local Intranet zone. Add the UNC name of the server
where the application is located, something like \\server.
Or configure this in a GPO:
User Configuration - Windows Settings - Internet Explorer
Maintenance - Security zones and Content ratings
"Local intranet"
If needed, set the "Launching applications and unsafe files"
setting for your Local Intranet zone to Enable.
