Hi Guys,

Trying to figure this little security problem out. I have 2 machines Server A and Server B both running win2k on the same network.

While on server A i drag a file from server B's C:drive and then I am prompted

Windows Security Warning
"are you sure you want to copy or move files to this folder"
You should only copy files from trusted sites
Yes No


I click yes and it copies over fine.


The problem is im writing a script to copy the files but when it copies it over this prompt comes up and my script is unable to click "ok"

Thus is there a way to disable this prompt? I cant add the other machine as a "trusted site" keep in mind this is NOT IE this is just using windows explorer to copy files.

Thanks a ton

You way win2k in your post, but win2k3 in your summary. I'll presume win2k3. Add the other servers to your trusted sites list (yes in IE, or via control panel/internet options/security)

Got it to work did a couple of things.

Co worker added the file://ipaddressofothermachine in trusted local sites. Perhaps that did the trick
