Novell GroupWise 8 Support Pack 2 Hot Patch 2
Situation
When opening messages in the GroupWise Windows client, the
warning "GroupWise has restricted this webpage from running scripts
or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click
here to allow access."
Resolution
Situation 1: This is considered working as designed as GroupWise is more
secure. It does not just open/activate code embeded in
emails. To workaround around this, set the following option:
On the client, go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Default Actions and choose the option to Never show warnings.
Situation 2: The setting is already set to never show warnings, as mentioned in Situation1 (Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Default Actions the option to Never show warnings).
This is due to an upgrade of Internet Explorer on the workstation from any version to IE9. Since GroupWise uses IE as the rendering engine it is picking up some change that has been made to IE.

At the moment the only work around is to go back to
IE8.
