[THIN] Re: Server Lockdown App?

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
