Hey Guys, see if you can help me here. I need to set up a workstation and I'd like to give access to our internal email with outlook conected to our exchange server. I don't want them to access Internet since there's a history of misuse.
I'm asking for advice on what would be the best way to do it, easy to configure and without spending anything.
Thanks very much for any input.
Regards,

Rodolfo

WOW..! your job role is Networking/LAN administration.. but you didnt know what you are suppose to do?

just block all the site and port except access to email

Just disable internet access on the PC.

Control Panel - Add or Remove Programs - Set Program Access or Defaults

This will get the job done with two conditions:

They are not a local admin to the machine. Otherwise, if he is smart, he'll just unlock it.

They are the only user. Blocking Explorer at this level blocks it for the whole machine, all users. Had to do this for a couple of boxes that we have on our shop floor that are used for a couple of key monitoring tools and email.

My 2 cents

Well, I'm not an IT manager as you can see in big enterprices, let's say I'm the only one here who knows more than average, so I'm the "computers's guy". Thanks for the help !

you can also try to setup static IP addresses and not include a default gateway... this will allow them to browse the network and see the email server, but not be able to browse the internet.
