We have an IE7 only environment, all PCs running Windows XP Professional, all
servers running Windows 2003 Server.
When I use IE7 to configure our list of Local Intranet sites in a GPO (ref:
User Configuration, Windows Settings, Internet Explorer Maintenance,
Security, Security Zones and Content Ratings) the group policy editor can no
longer display a report in the Settings tab and fails with the following
error message:
"An error occurred while generating report:
An unknown error occurred while the HTML report was being generated."
If I turn off the Security settings for IE within the GPO then the problem
goes away. When I turn them back on again, the problem returns.
This error has been reported by others. One fix suggested is to use IE6 to
configure the IE Security settings in the GPO. Apparently using IE6 does not
trigger the error. Unfortunately this is not an option for me.
Does anyone know of a fix, hotfix, workaround ... something? The only other
suggestion I have been able to come up with is to do the IE Security settings
in their own GPO, so that when the Settings display fails at least it just
fails for just those settings in just that one, isolated GPO ... but it would
be nice if there were a more elegant and permanent solution.
