  1. Thanks for the suggestion... I'm only having to do this on 2 machines in the network. It could go up to around 5 or so at some point. I'm liking the Content Advisor though... it seems to be doing a superb job. Ohh... the poor security guards... what ever will they do now?! ;)

    They will still need their DNS info for remote printing and other application uses.

  2. So heres my problem - we have a 'security' department at my work which basically all they do is sit around and surf the net all day and don't really do any work. The director of the department wants to block ALL websites accept our local intranet website and a news site. I've been playing around with IE's Content Advisor and blocked *.com, *.net, *.org etc and allowed the 2 websites he'd like to be accessed. It seems to be working flawlessly, blocking everything. Is content advisor a tried and true way to block sites? I've looked at trying to find workarounds on hacking the supervisor password but to do it they would either need to go into the registry (which they don't have access to) or install some cracking app (which they also have no access to).

    I need to block all sites as transparently, quickly and non invasive as possible. I'd prefer not to have to install any software on the machine but will look at options. Originally I was going utilize the host file until the director came back and said that he wanted ALL sites blocked.

    Any advice or solutions are welcome!

  3. How many machines? Standalone or networked?

    If you're running these/this computer(s) in a network utilizing AD I would create a group with all the users you dont want accessing that folder and setup special permissions for documents & settings. If only on a few machines... just deny the particular users access in the security tab.

  4. I too am in the hotel business and support 1500 guest rooms all with internet connections. Our sister property in Florida uses a web based program linked to a couple of redundant printers at our front desk. The guest uploads their document to this site, the site gives them a 5 digit alpha numeric code, they walk to the FD, enter the code on the printer and their doc prints. Unfortunately I don't have a name of the company or system ATM but I can get it.
