Use of the Intranet Module in Windows Vista
Windows Vista introduces new restrictions on the use of ActiveX components, but also offers a great new enhancement that makes it more flexible than ever – the ActiveX Installer Service, AxIs.
This allows standard users to install and use ActiveX components from trusted locations without an "administrator" account.
For more information on using AxIs on Vista, visit the Microsoft TechNet sites below. If the URLs change, just search TechNet for "ActiveX Installer Service".

Alternative to the AxIs method
The typical use for the E-Z Audit Intranet module, as the name suggests, is via your intranet. Internet Explorer "trusts" intranets at a higher level than sites on the internet.
However, you may need to extend explicit trust to your intranet anyway and if not using AxIs via Group Policy you will need to take some manual steps:
In IE, click the Tools button, select Internet Options
Click the Security tab, then click the Local Intranet zone icon, then click Sites
Click Advanced then enter the information for your intranet
