When you are trying to run an executable located on another machine on your network, running Windows XP SP2 or higher, you are accosted with a prompt: \u201cThe publisher could not be verified\u201d. You are forced to confirm that you wish to run this program\u2026 every time you run it.
\n
\nYou can disappear this message by setting the following Group Policy Object (GPO)<\/p>\n
Go to User Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Windows Components >> Attachement Manager and add \u201c*.exe\u201d to the \u201cInclusion list for moderate risk file types\u201d setting.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis policy setting allows you to configure the list of moderate risk file types. If the attachment is in the list of moderate risk file types and is from the restricted or Internet zone, Windows prompts the user before accessing the file. \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
In other words, this allows you to run an .exe from the Intranet zone without a prompt, but it will warn before running one from the Internet. A lot of people are instructing to add *.exe to the list of low-risk file types. Doing so, you are allowing .exe files to execute from anywhere on the internet.<\/p>\n
Attachment Manager doesn\u2019t exist?<\/p>\n
\u201cRun gpedit.msc, under computer configuration \u2013 right click on
\nadministrative templates and select add\/remove templates, click add
\nbutton at bottom, select \u2018system.adm\u2019, click open, click close.\u201d<\/p>\n
