Hi again Tom,
Thanks for your advice, one quick question is having created my "Deny
All" how do I then create the "Exception List". In what is it created?
Thanks again
Hi Steve,
OK, this is for Web browsing, not for SMTP.
Like Jim said, you really get into a pickle when you try to create such
restrictions. It is possible to create a "Deny All" Site and Content
Rule, then create an exceptions list. But what happens in practice is
that a particular site links to a another site that is not on the
allowed list. This leads to:
1. You making it an avocation to update your White list
or
2. Creating black lists instead of White lists
or most likely,
3. You going insane trying to get a fine level of control over what
people view.
I find that the best solution is to create a network usage policy, make
it clear to users what this policy is and that they're being watched,
and then post your reports of where users are going each week. Its sort
of like when I was a kid (in the old world order) where the grades were
posted in public. People who did good got kudos for that, and those who
didn't do good got to sit in the corner with a "dunce cap" :-) That
gave the dunces the opportunity to work harder to get out of corner, or
stratify themselves and perhaps prepare them for their futures in
cell-block 9 ;-)
Give it a try and I think your boss will get a kick out of it. Just make
sure to remove his entries from the reports :-D
HTH,
Tom
