How to turn off IE enhanced security warning in server 2016se?

After migrating from 2012se to 2016se, I turned off IE enhanced security (unusable with it on).

Now every time I open IE, I get a warning that its off. How do I disable that warning?

Hello Rick,

  1. Why is IE unusable?
  2. Is that warning in the whole IE windows or just a tiny window on the bottom?

Takes forever to get to a site. You have to keep adding sites to your trusted sites list. Sometimes take 20-30 minutes on complexly linked sites. Gets old real fast. Sometimes it never lets you get in. Gave up on it many years ago --its never gotten better, just worse.

It opens a tab with the warning each time. It's a poorly designed method that doesn't work in complex environments.

    Installing software or browsing help forums from known good sites, especially when configuring a new server or troubleshooting, are the only times I do it. Usually its time critical.

    If a server needs to be highly secure, I wouldn't do it. By that I  mean involving millions of dollars of risk.

    So I still need to know how to disable the warning tab.

    I think that tab is set in Internet options | General | Start with Tabs from Last session will set the tab to your last visited page and will remove the warning that comes from res://iesetup.dll/SoftAdmin.htm I think.

    We disagree on browsing the Internet on a server. If you are doing this for a customer I would be very worried about the attitude you show towards someone else's data and privacy. If a server gets compromised because you ignore a general best practice this could be very dirty for you in court.

    I do this only on my own servers, which often are test servers that get rebuilt frequently. Never would do it on a clients machine.

    There is software that is difficult to install unless you do it from the machine you are on. You can't download an install package.

    In 20+ years, I've never had a server infected.

    I've had clients infected, even being careful.  I do 99.9% of my browsing on locked down and protected clients.
