Lock down websites

Hi Experts,

right I hope this is clear and not too difficult but I will do my best to fully understand this.

so... my boss walked in and said to me 'I want to lock down what websites individuals can access here'

he wants to stop them watching youtube, playing games etc.

how can I do this? I havent done this or even seen it being done.

please ask any questions as I don't know what information I need to provide as I don't even know where this would be set from!

PC's - windows 7 64bit
SBS2011 server
around 50 users
both chrome and IE used (all versions)

look forward to some help!

You will need a content filtering application.

How are your users connecting to the internet? Are they going through the SBS2011 or going directly through a proxy or the router?

You might want to look at websense as well.

as it currently stands, and this is the way I believe it works. the server manages the DNS side of stuff which goes through my draytek router Vigor 2860

thanks I will look into using the appliance method, we do need to stop specific people from accessing websites but our marketing team and web dev team will need to access all sites, so I like the idea that I can use OU's or something similar to group them. thanks for your help guys

Also just to add, I looked at the draytek add on to do this and it doesn't seem all that plus it isn't very configurable (its basic). and my network is for about 50 users so not massive at all.
