SYMPTOMS
After you use the Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) to create an automatic configuration script, users may not be able to retain the trusted sites that they add. Instead, the trusted sites may disappear after the user adds them.



CAUSE
The .ins file that is created by the IEAK contains security zones settings that are imported to Internet Explorer. When Internet Explorer uses the .ins file for configuration, it first deletes all local trusted sites, and then applies the security settings that are defined in the .ins file.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, do not import security zones and settings when you create the .ins file with IEAK Profile Manager.



MORE INFORMATION
Trusted sites settings are a part of Internet Explorer security zones and settings. If an .ins file contains security zones and settings, an Internet Explorer client cannot retain their trusted sites.
