Status: offline 		If the content advisor was turned on, if you just type the address in the bar, it'll pop up a box that lets you put in your content advisor password and a radio button that let's you "always allow website to be viewed" or "view this website this one time". If you choose "always allow this website to be viewed" and type in the correct password, the root domain is added to list of allowed sites, which can also be added manually in :

IE -> Tools -> Internet Options -> Content -> Settings -> Sites -> add to the list and choose "allow"

any ideas how to add this through script? I looked through the registry where the password for the content advisor is stored, and didn't see a site list, so it didn't seem very obvious to me.

Status: offline 		Hello,

After following the registry key from the link given I have turned on Content Advisor and added a site in there...

I have found it does the following:

It adds the following key's:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Ratings\PICSRules\.Default\0\PRPolicy\0\PRPPolicySub\0

The second Zero will go up one number each time a new entry is added... so if I added another site it would be:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Ratings\PICSRules\.Default\0\PRPolicy\1\PRPPolicySub\0

The REG_SZ which is located in that third 0 key is called PRBUUrl and its data is the website you have allowed.

Now using this information you should be able to edit the registry using the regwrite method of the Wscript.Schell Object to add another site but you would probably have to enumerate the key below to see where the numbers are up to and then add one onto the end of this. I think an Array would be good for this.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Ratings\PICSRules\.Default\0\PRPolicy\

If you give it a go from the information given in this thread by others and then post your script we can have a look and guide you in the correct direction for your solution.

HTH

James

Status: offline 		I tested the script and added exactly what the other sites had added. Here's what I wrote:

Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
strComputer = "."

Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & _
   strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")

strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Ratings\PICSRules\.Default\0\PRPolicy\2"
oReg.CreateKey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath

strValueName = "PRPPolicyAttribute"
dwValue = 2
oReg.SetDWORDValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,dwValue
strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Ratings\PICSRules\.Default\0\PRPolicy\2\PRPPolicySub"
oReg.CreateKey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath
strValueName = "PRNumURLExpressions"
dwValue = 1
oReg.SetDWORDValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,dwValue
strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Ratings\PICSRules\.Default\0\PRPolicy\2\PRPPolicySub\0"
oReg.CreateKey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath
strValueName = "PRBUHost"
strValue = "www.aol.com"
oReg.SetStringValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,strValue
strValueName = "PRBUPort"
strValue = "80"
oReg.SetStringValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,strValue
strValueName = "PRBUScheme"
strValue = "http"
oReg.SetStringValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,strValue
strValueName = "PRBUUrl"
strValue = "www.aol.com"
oReg.SetStringValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,strValue
strValueName = "PRBUInternetPattern"
dwValue = 1
oReg.SetDWORDValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,dwValue
strValueName = "PRBUNonWild"
dwValue = 13
oReg.SetDWORDValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,dwValue
strValueName = "PRBUSpecified"
dwValue = 31
oReg.SetDWORDValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,dwValue

The result didn't make a difference. www.aol.com hadn't been added to the list of allowed sites in IE. I"m not quite sure why because all the keys are identical to those other few that I added through the GUI.

any ideas?

Status: offline 		Hello,

I ahve had a look at your code and I have looked at how it should work and what your code does... it missed a few keys out... one vital key which I have found needs to be added in at the end... So once that key is there your good to go...


      

The above code will add it into the GUI however if the site is not in the GUI to begin with make sure internet explorer is not running and then run your code and then re open it and go check and then as if by magic its there... 

Hope this helps

James
