This is probably a baby question, but here goes.

We have a custom DOS/Command-line application that we've been running for
years.

Now that we're moving to an online application, whenever the DOS app gets
called we get the

===============================================================
Open File - Security Warning

The publisher could not be verified.  Are you sure you want to run this
software?

Name:
Publisher: Unknown Publisher
Type: Application
From:

                                                    Run            Cancel

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This file does not have a valid digital signature that verifies it
publisher.
You should only run from publishers you trust.  How can I
decide what software to run?
===============================================================

Question:  Is there somewhere (preferably at the domain/group policy level)
that I can have this application ignored by this check?

We wrote it - so we trust the publisher.

I've entered it as an exception in the firewall and in the in the 'error
reporting' exceptions and it still comes up.

What am I missing?

Thanks a ton...

You have upgraded the clients with SP2 and need to set the rigth security in
trusted zone in explorer.

I do have SP2 clients.

I have looked through the explorer settings and the only thing that appears
even close is the 'intranet' and/or 'trusted sites' stuff and a setting
called something like "Don't prompt for client certificate selection" -
which we have enabled in both zones.

In other words, can you be more specific about what I need to set, where &
how?

I really didn't want to set a blanket policy to allow all programs to run in
all cases - I'd just like to 'except' this one from blocking/verification
since it is purely internal and never needs to be seen outside our intranet.

Make sense?
