It almost seems that the Administrators group in Windows 2008 is more like Power Users and the only true Admin is the local Administrator. If I didn’t want members of the Administrators group to have full Admin privileges I wouldn’t put them there. Any way, back to the task of enabling JavaScript for members of the “Administrators” group.
1. Log in as local Administrator (machinename\administrator)
2. Open Server Manager
3. On the right hand side scroll down to Security Information and look for Configure IE ESC
4. Under Administrator choose off
Now all members of the “Administrators” group will be able to administer IE internet zones.

Isn’t 2008 fun? No…. really I love it. The security settings will cause many hours of Googling to get things that worked in 2003 to work on 2008 but it’s important to know what holes are open.

But, stupid Microsoft: You need to enable risks for the administrators first for make it work for users
