So, what’s the difference between Trusted Sites Medium-Low versus Medium-settings? We had some issues at work at one point. Some applications helpsite didn’t work on IE8 – Well it did, but only on SOME computers. It worked perfectly on IE7, Chrome and Firefox. So, it had to be a setting in IE8.

Horrible.. horrible Exchange 2007 🙂 So complex and yet so lovely. For a couple of times, I’ve experienced my failure as an exchange administrator.
