Block Internet sites for certain users
I have Windows Server 2003 for Small Business Server SP2 and i want to know all possibilities of blocking certain users in my office from accessing specific sites like Live Messenger. I have heard that its possible but i don't know how. So is there anyone who can let me know the steps required for the same????
Re: Block Internet sites for certain users
Below are your 2 options
First, go into your DNSMGMT.MSC and add host records for the servers you might be willing to block. Just make sure that the servers point to the local loop address 127.0.0.1. so that the users will get blocked as soon as their DNS cache gets refreshed.
Second, you can also go in to your firewall and add rules to block the connection to those specific servers.
