This policy setting causes a Notification bar notification to appear when intranet content is loaded and the intranet mapping rules have not been configured. The Notification bar allows the user to enable intranet mappings, if they require them. If you enable this policy setting, a Notification bar notification appears whenever the user browses to a page that loads content from an intranet site. If you disable this policy setting, a Notification bar notification does not appear when the user loads content from an intranet site that is being treated as though it is in the Internet zone. If this policy setting is not configured, a Notification bar notification appears for intranet content loaded on a browser on a computer that is not a domain member, until the user turns off the Notification bar.
Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings Value name: WarnOnIntranet
Enabled: WarnOnIntranet = 1
Disabled: WarnOnIntranet = 0
Export Builder
BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
