GPO blocking hyperlinks on Internet Exporer

[HadWeKnown]

Hi Guys,

 

First post so please be gentle!

 

Over the summer we migrated from a RM CC4 network to a standard Windows Domain. Not really knowing where to begin in terms of Group Policy we had a company come in and help set up our policies.

 

Having been given some time to get to grips with Group Policy we have managed to change most things ourselves apart from one issue. When students try to access certain webpages via hyperlinks (or logging into a website) we get messages saying-

 

'This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator'.

If anyone knows off the top of their head which policy may be effecting this I would greatly appreciate a nudge in the correct direction.

 

Thanks in anticipation.

Hi all,

 

Just a little update. I managed to find the offending item by copying the policy and stripping it back one item at a time.

 

User Configuration – Administrative templates – Windows Components – Internet Explorer – Browser Menus – Disable Open in New Window option

 

This was set to enabled. As soon as I set it to not configured the issue was resolved. I guess the sites we're trying to open a pop up window maybe?

 

Anyways, solved =)
