  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

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
