Practical Help for Exchange & Office 365
Do you find the automatic launch of the Server Manager a pest?
I do.
I admit it is a great tool. But, I rarely use it.
I spend most of my time knee-deep in Exchange consoles. That’s my focus. So, when I log in to a server to do something real quick that extra delay of launching and closing the Server Manager is a nuisance.
Thankfully, Microsoft lets you disable this.

It’s that pesky feature that Content Blocks any site not in your Trusted Zone.
One workaround is to simply add every site that you trust. This is the preferred Microsoft way to allow access. When this dialog box appears, click the Add button.
The Add this website field should already be populated with the site you are trying to access. Simply click the Add button, followed by Close.
The page will reload with the website you wish to trust.
Now, this can become quite tedious.
We could disable Enhanced Security Configuration altogether.

Yes, unfortunately, they did.
And while not apparent to most users, it is something that will affect many network administrators, desktop support technicians and technology consultants alike.
Those that know me may also wonder why I have posted such a powerful heading like the one above. My coworkers often accuse me of drinking the Microsoft Kool-Aid. With my PC running Windows 8.1, with Internet Explorer 11 as my default browser, my Bing.com homepage, Bing Bar and Bing Desktop apps, my Windows Phone and my Xbox (oh and the fact I want to buy a car with Sync), I honestly don’t know where they get it from.
But back to the topic at hand. What is this mistake Microsoft made with Windows 8.1 and how that will affect IT professionals?

While there appears to be no actual fix there is a very easy workaround. Simply switch your RDS Web Access portal page into compatibility mode.
You can do this by clicking the icon of the torn page in Internet Explorer’s Address Bar. The page will reload in compatibility mode and you should now have matching pictures to go with the text descriptions. As long as you don’t clear your browser cache, Internet Explorer will remember the compatibility mode setting.
