Chris,

I think I've figured this one out.  Based on this Q article [1], you can
add a site to the Trusted Sites zone at the machine level [2].  I've
found that the easiest way to do this is to (temporarily) add the site
to Trusted Sites from the IE UI.  This will create the appropriate
registry key under:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\ZoneMap\Domains

Then, I export the created key from regedit.  Load up the .reg file in
Notepad and replace HKEY_CURRENT_USER with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.  Add the
changed .reg file back to the registry and delete the key under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\ZoneMap\Domains

The interesting thing about this is that the sites added at the machine
level don't show up in the IE UI, but IE won't let the user add these
sites to a different zone.

Once you see the structure of the keys, then it is easy enough to code
all this as part of an install or distribute the settings through group
policies.

If you figure it out I would love to know how.  We have been stymied by
this also...
