How to disable Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration (IE ESC) in Windows Server 2008/R2

One of the first thing I do when I get a new development environment is to disable IE ESC. But what is the IE ESC?

Quoting from Technet:

Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration places your server and Internet Explorer in a configuration that decreases the exposure of your server to potential attacks that can occur through Web content and application scripts. As a result, some Web sites may not display or perform as expected.

So basically it means you can’t browse :| and that is bad when you working with a web based enterprise portal system like SharePoint :)

So how is disable it?

Open the Server Manager, click on the “Configure IE ESC” and select “Off”, click OK and done :)
