Windows Server 2003 security settings

Windows Server® 2003 has implemented stricter security elements in Internet Explorer. It is recommended that all Transaction Player agents be set to run Play Script as User in the Foglight. In Windows Server 2003, the default security setting for all users is “High”. This setting can cause problems with some scripts, depending on the content of the sites being monitored. The Internet Explorer security setting for that user can be changed to Medium-low. This setting is appropriate for intranet sites and other sites that are trusted. To properly set up Windows Server 2003 Security settings you must:
•
Change Windows® Security Settings in the Internet Explorer®
•
Change user parameters in Foglight

1
From the Internet Explorer menu bar select Tool > Internet Options.
