Re: Preventing Internet Explorer Access

Where I work, it depends on the Windows login what groups of sites we can visit. Our traffic is being monitored by a proxy that checks the IP and windows login to check if we can access certain sites.
LOL...and the weird thing is that I can't even access the ALLOWED sites.. like glitnir.is and landsbanki.is (banks).
Weird right? =D

Actually, this is very easy to accomplish. Through Group Policies, define the users/groups that you don't want to have internet access using standard installed applications (IE, OE, etc.) and assign a proxy server address of 127.0.0.1 under the Internet Explorer restrictions on a per-user/group basis. Using the default settings, all installed Windows apps use the IE settings, so they'll all fail to connect. If you further restrict access to Internet Options and Registry Editing tools, they'll be unable to easily change this setting.

Its not as "all encompasing" as a 3rd party solution would be, or even using an Internet Access Server, where you can literally control access using Windows based authentication, but it will stop the casual user from gaining access.
