A few things off the top of my head:
-Use GPO to restrict the IE7 installer from being able to eecute
-Block IE7 from AU -

Subject: [THIN] OT: blocking access to IE7 install
Hello -
Does anybody know of a good way to prevent users from installing IE7?
Most of our computers are setup properly where users do not have the
permissions on the workstations to install, but there are a few here and
there that are not and it seems like some users are running the windows
updates and installing IE7 without our permission. We do not run SMS,
SUS, or WSUS or any type of patching solution at the Enterprise level
yet that we could use to control this.
We just have to do a little more testing before we are ready for IE7
across the board.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
