IE 9 doesn't show the web site's Zone Assignment in the bottom right corner of IE. This was really useful in IE 8 and below as you could quickly know how the site was being handled.
It turns out that there's a pretty easy way to get the information anyway in IE 9.
Just right click on a blank portion of the web site and click on Properties. This will bring up a Window that will show you what Zone the site is in as well as whether or not you are in Protected Mode.

Disconnected Mandatory Advertisements
So I ended up needing to verify exactly how SCCM Advertisements are handled when disconnected.
When you have an Advertisement that is set as a Mandatory Advertisement and your computer has downloaded the policy. And then you disconnect from the network, as in wireless or just at home or over software VPN. Thus disconnected from the corporate network but still on and running. When that time comes, for the Mandatory Advertisement to run, it will do the install, regardless if it has a network connection or not.
In the end it acted the way I expected it to, but I need to verify this and can now conclusively say that this is how it works.
