There are some laptops that we are going to set up to very locked down. The users will be restricted to only using VPN and RDP on these systems.
However, the users need the ability to join free and paid public wireless hot spots that have captive portals (Starbuck, McDonalds's, GoGo etc.) so they can get online to connect to VPN remotely when travelling without a portable hot spot.
The Internet Zone in IE on these laptops will be set to High instead of default Medium-High.
Is there any reason captive portal logins would not work with IE Security set to high?
If that could cause login to fail, are there any dedicated wireless-joining apps that would allow users to sign into captive portals without using a full-featured browser?
