So I work for a company that monitors wind farms and turbines.

We currently have a Windows XP machine which we monitor all the wind turbines on, my boss has finally took my advice and is upgrading the machine to a windows 10 build

Now I'm having trouble accessing some of the websites/ip address/scada systems

Getting a message on internet edge/chrome/safari

"Wrong browser detected.

You may be using a wrong or an old browser.
Browser required:
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or later.

You are using:
  • Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/74.0.3729.157 Safari/537.36"

I'm struggling to find a work around this.

Anybody got any ideas?
 
Compatibility mode works, i can see the site but not all the website is displayed?

Usually there's a side menu where you can gain access to different pages
 
Add it to exceptions in IE. Trusted etc

Probably some javascript getting blocked.
 
Ok. I now have the side menu after uninstalling and reinstalling JAVA, however im not getting an "Application blocked" message
Various different java messages
 
the site is looking at your user agent string to make sure you're using a compatible browser.
it doesn't know about your user agent because your browser is newer than the software.
you'll have to trick the software into thinking you're using ie6.
you can do this by providing a different user agent string.
get a chrome extension that fakes user agent, give it a user agent string for ie6

or alternatively, stop using a super old website, or at least update it so it doesn't check user agent.
 
You may need to run an older version of Java.
Drop the security levels in Java.
Add the URL to the exceptions site list
Are you using 64 or 32bit Java?
