Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration places your server and Microsoft Internet Explorer in a
configuration that decreases the exposure of your server to potential attacks that can occur through Web content and
application scripts. As a result, some Web sites may not display or perform as expected.In my personal openion opera
webbrowser is more safer than IE/firefox.
If you only need to access the web every now and then from a server or if you are working on a test server, then you can
disable Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration.
For Windows Server 2003 Users
I didn’t find a way to turn it off in the IE configuration and It seems one has to uninstall it: Go to Control Panel, then Add
or Remove Programs, then click on Add/Remove Windows Components uncheck the Internet Explorer Enhanced Security
Configuration and click on next.
For Windows Server 2008 Users
In Windows Server 2003, one has to uninstall the corresponding Windows Component. In Windows Server 2008, this doesn’t work anymore. You have to click on the root folder
in Server Manager. Then you scroll down to the Security Information Section and click “Configure IE ESC”. You can turn off IE ESC for Administrators and/or for users. The
latter probably only makes sense in a Terminal Server environment.

I disabled it for my 2003 Terminal Server by setting:
Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Internet Explorer / Internet Control Panel / Security Page — Internet Zone
to “Medium”.
The enhanced security message still appears as the homepage still appears until it too is changed.
