What are the steps I should follow when denying Internet access to a certain user?

I'm running WS2K3 with Active Directory.

thx

The easiest way to do this is to block the user's IP at the router, failing that, you can always set group policy, or use several third party utilities to do this. If you have specific questions, with detail on the situation, please feel free to Email me.

Good luck!

Sorry, I should've been more specific. I would rather deny internet access through a group policy instead of blocking the IP address so that the user will be denied regardless of where they log in.

Can this be done through the default domain controller policy? I remember seeing the option in there somewhere but I forgot.

thx

First, crate a new domain group like "notinterent" add user to the group
Second, create a new goup policy, enable following setting
\user configuration\windows setting\internet explorer maintence\connection
disable \automatic browser configuration
enable \proxy settings (but put a bogus IP address)

\administrative templates\windows components\internet explorer
enable \disable changing proxy setting
enable \disable change connection setting

apply "notinternet" group to this new policy
