How To Break GPMC - Part 2

  1. In Internet Explorer 7, set one of your security zones to the medium-high security setting.
  2. On the same machine, import the security settings into a GPO (In GpEdit, select User Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Internet Explorer Maintenance -> Security -> Security Zones and Content Ratings -> Import the current[...]settings)
  3. On a non-Vista machine, use GPMC to display a settings report of the GPO.  GPMC will report an error. (On Vista it reports custom settings).

This is because medium-high is a new security level for Internet Explorer 7 and GPMC has the standard levels hard-coded into Microsoft.GroupPolicy.Reporting.dll.
