RE: Stop browsing the web through GP?

["Thomas F. Szabo" <tszabo () diamondtech net>]

I don't have any templates for you.  However if nothing else you should
be able to use Group Policy to control Internet Explorer's connection
settings.  You can then effectively 'break' the Internet by supplying
the browser settings in a particular OU with a fake Proxy server
address.  You can even put up a simple page that says sorry Internet
Browsing forbidden.  Of course this would require that they are only
using Internet Explorer.  I'm sure there are plenty of ways around this
but it should stop the normal user.

Subject: Stop browsing the web through GP?

I have a Windows Server 2003 domain.  I am looking for a way to keep
users in a partcular OU from browsing the web.  I want to accomplish
this through Group Policy, but I can't find anything in the ADM
templates for Users or for Computers.  Is there another ADM template I
am missing?  Or is the policy all ready present and I am missing it?  I
have tried searching on Tech-Net and Google and I haven't been able to
find anything.  Please help.
