Are they part of a domain? &nbsp;You can do it through group policy as outlined here &nbsp; <a href="http://www.windowsecurity.com/articles/Restricting-Specific-Web-Sites-Internet-Explorer-Using-Group-Policy.html" rel="ugc">http://www.windowsecurity.com/articles/Restricting-Specific-Web-Sites-Internet-Explorer-Using-Group-Policy.html</a><br />

I wish there was an easier way (using group policy) because this is a very common request.<br />

Thanks<br />

Hmmm, that makes sense. &nbsp;The head IT administrator is using DNS blocking, not sure why he's not using the firewall instead...thank you for your input Sentner :)

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
ISA role not installed<br />
<br />
tried hosts file, no good there<br />
<br />
I've also heard that using the DNS role (actually installed) is a bad idea for preventing website access.<br />
<br />
all users have local administrator access on their machines, so, unsure how to push through a policy (group policy role also not installed) that changes something on their terminal and yet, makes it so that they will not have administrative priviledges to change it back...<br />
<br />
help please! &nbsp;

How to prevent users from accessing unauthorized websites on Server 2000

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
