SYMPTOMS

When you use Group Policy or the Microsoft Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) to import advanced privacy settings and per-site privacy actions, these settings may not be imported into your customized IEAK build.

CAUSE

This problem may occur because there is a coding error. As a result, the following registry keys are not imported into the Seczones.inf file:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\P3P\

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\PrivacyAdvanced

Important This hotfix must be installed in two locations.

Client location

Use the provided hotfix installer, which updates the Ieakeng.dll file that is located in the System32 folder.

Server location

Manually extract the files from the hotfix installer (use the Q323061.exe /? command to view extraction options), and then copy the Ieakeng.dll file to the IEAK installation folder.
The import will only occur if both settings (that is, P3P and Advanced Settings) are present. By default in Windows 2000, there is no value set for P3P. Therefore, install the hotfix and then follow these steps:
  • Click Tools, and then click Options.
  • Click the Privacy tab, click Edit, and then click OK.
Note the import will only occur if both settings (P3P and Advanced Settings) are present. By default, in Windows 2000 there is no value for these P3P settings. Therefore, follow these steps after you install the hotfix:
  1. In Internet Explorer, click Tools, click Options, and then click the Privacy tab.
  2. Click Edit, and then click OK two times.
