Change Internet Explorer security settings for trusted domains using Powershell

Turns out that it was!

Here's what i did: (Run powershell as an Administrator)

#Setting IExplorer settingsWrite-Verbose "Now configuring IE"#Add http://website.com as a trusted Site/Domain#Navigate to the domains folder in the registryset-location "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings"set-location ZoneMap\Domains#Create a new folder with the website namenew-item website/ -Forceset-location website/new-itemproperty . -Name * -Value 2 -Type DWORD -Forcenew-itemproperty . -Name http -Value 2 -Type DWORD -Forcenew-itemproperty . -Name https -Value 2 -Type DWORD -Force#Navigate to the trusted domains folder in the registry:#Go to registry folder for Trusted Domains#Zone 2 in this case resembles the trusted domains (Or zones if you'd prefer)Set-Location "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\zones\2"

Now you have all your settings pointed out as values. The trick is to find the proper values per setting.In my case I found the values on:http://support.microsoft.com/KB/182569 (A bit midway on the page)

Now we need to know what the preferred values are.In my case I found that value 0 is Enabled, 1 is Disabled and 3 is (if supported) prompting.

Next off it's pretty simple.
