Public Web Browser is cheap - $100/year for unlimited users, and you
can limit where they browse.  http://www.teamsoftwaresolutions.com
It runs off the IE dll's and is very configurable.

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,



Jeff Durbin
