The Solution worked for me:
After trying lots of KBs here and there I noticed, I am not configuring the URLs listing properly. I was giving the URLs name correctly but was not filling the sequence numbers for all the URLs I was entering. So the trick worked for me is, I just given the sequence numbers in Value filed of the Site to Zone Assignment List and that worked for me like a charm…

Below is the screenshot of correctly deploying the Site to Zone Assignment List URLs list. In my case, I have used *.thedomainname.com etc… you can use URLs like http://thedomainname.com as well…that’s your choice…























Cheers.. Please write me back if you have any query or feedback..

  1. That is not how the Value column works. It is not a sequential number, it designates the four security zones.
    "Value - A number indicating the zone with which this site should be associated for security settings. The Internet Explorer zones described above are 1-4."
    "They are: (1) Intranet zone, (2) Trusted Sites zone, (3) Internet zone, and (4) Restricted Sites zone."
