Q: When I try to run a program from my file server, I see a "file download" warning box.
Q: Every time I start one of our customized apps (An .exe). I get the Open file - Security Warning.
Problem:
Open File - Security Warning
The publisher could not be verified.
Are you sure you want to run this software?
Name: Application.exe
Publisher: Unknown Publisher
Type: Application
From: \\Network\...
This file does not have a valid digital signature that verifies its publisher.
You should only run software from publisher you trust.
How can I decide what software to run?
Solution:
- Run gpedit.msc
- User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Attachment Manager > Inclusion list for moderate risk file types > Properties > Enable (and set the *.exe in edit box)
