Hmmmm..... I'm pretty familiar with our security settings, and AFAIK we don't have anything client-side that restricts that. Again, this is a change in behavior over this past weekend, when we flipped from a bare Win2k3 server to a 2012R2 server.
Or perhaps this is something on the server side? Is that what you're implying? Then again, I'm just back from 5 weeks of paternity leave, and might have missed some fiddling in the environment. Between that and lack of sleep, anything is possible. Kurt On Thu, Oct 23, 2014 at 5:08 PM, Michael B. Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > Ah, there is a GPO and/or secpol that controls this.
