[THIN] Re: OT: Restricting IE On Terminal Server

There was a recent article in PC-Mag on restricting users to certain sites
by pointing to a non existent proxy and then adding exceptions to the sites
you do want them to be able to access.

This info might help.

we use content management software called Websense.  You must use Proxy 
in conjunction with it to discriminate between different TS users, or 
you can eliminate the need for proxy by creating IE filtering per 
server, and directing users to the 'Desktop' of the server that has the 
internet access you wish to allow.

 I want to give a group of users Internet Explorer, but restrict them 
to certain web sites. What's the best way to do this?
 I thought this would be quite straightforward using Content Advisor 
via Group Policy. I enabled it for a GPO that applied to a group of 
users and restricted them to certain sites. I logged on as on of the 
users and did receive the restriction. However, I then noticed that my 
administrator's session to the same server was also restricted. I 
verified that, even though the Content Advistor settings are listed 
under the User Configuration (Windows Settings, Internet Explorer 
Maintenance, Security , Security Zones and Content Ratings), any 
restriction applied to any user on a server causes those settings to be 
applied to *all* users. Any ideas? (I know about kiosk mode, but since 
I'm publishing a desktop, they could create a shortcut to Iexplore.exe 
in their home drive and get a normal instance of IE, so I want 
something a little more sure).
 
Thanks and Happy New Year,
