There are several things you can do, depending on how bright your users are. 1. Create a policy for the OU to just remove the IE icon from the desktop 2. Create a policy that restricts users from running iexplore.exe 3. Create a policy that sets IE to connect a non-existant IP/Proxy name/setup policy to stop people from changing the IE settings. Of course, none of these will help if your users can/know to install Netscape/Mozilla/You browser here.

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.
