[THIN] Re: Server Lockdown App?

Thanks for the info Jim,

Did you try this on PCs or in your Citrix environment ?

  SVS just runs the app in a separate space, so if you have plugins associated 
with it they should also be loaded in that environment.  I did it with IE and 
use it all the time on PC for safe browsing.  Here is a link to blog I wrote on 
how I did it.

      You could also do it with Altiris SVS if you are going that route.

        Hahaha!!  Oh sure we have one, but having one and trying to enforce it 
are two different things.  Especially across ~2000 or so field sites where the 
person in question is the person who is charged with enforcing HR policies.  I 
might as well write up my own traffic tickets for people that cut me off in 
traffic.  Nah.  I gotta have something solid.  :-) 

        I think I'm leaning on using a thinstall version of a browser and 
locking it off from the OS file and registry services.  Just in the preliminary 
testing, it looks pretty good.  

        Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!

        How about just waving the acceptable use policy (you DO have one, don't 
you) until they stop causing trouble.

          Hey Guys, 



          I'm going to soon have several users accessing the Internet on my 
servers, and while we do lock down the servers with GPOs and NTFS permissions, 
I'm confident that they will manage to circumvent those measures to some degree 
and cause issues.  Does anyone have any suggestions for thirdparty apps that 
might help lock these servers down to the hilt and / or mitigate malware. 





          Thanks, 

          -Brian
