Discussion

This policy setting determines whether users can run the Tabular Data Control (TDC) ActiveX control, based on security zone. By default, the TDC ActiveX Control is disabled in the Internet and Restricted Sites security zones. If you enable this policy setting, users won’t be able to run the TDC ActiveX control from all sites in the specified zone.

Check Content

In the policy value for Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Windows Components >> Internet Explorer >> Internet Control Panel >> Security Page >> Restricted Sites Zone, verify "Allow only approved domains to use the TDC ActiveX control" is “Enabled”. 

In the Options window, verify the “Only allow approved domains to use the TDC ActiveX control" drop-down box is set to “Enable”. 

Procedure: Use the Windows Registry Editor to navigate to the following key: 

HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\4 

Criteria: 

If the value "120c" is REG_DWORD = “3”, this is not a finding.

Fix Text
