Content Advisor and Win NT

I have been using the Content Advisor in IE 5.5 on my Win98 machines to block a few specific sites. While not perfect, it has met my needs.
Now I want to do the same for a few NT machines. I set the unapproved sites in IE, save and then log in asa different user, and the sites are not on the list.
I assume that this list is stored somewhere in the currentuser part of the registry. I use a mandatory profile for my users and that does not solve the problem. It would not be a big thing if only one or two users used the machine, but these are in a High School lab and dozens of users will be using each machine.

Any ideas?

Each user account that logs into NT has a seperate profile...with you just wanting to use the IE properties to control content..then I would recommend using on account for the students.....since your in a school..I am assuming that you have servers?and most likely they are Novell. You might consider using Zenworks to control this access.....

I hope this helps a little...

We have NT servers. I figure there must be some way to use profiles or policies in NT, but I can't figure it out.

If your in a domain model you can use policies along with the Zero Admin kit for Internet Explorer. All you really need is the .adm file from the zero admin kit that contains the IE settings. Use System Policy Editor or poledit to edit your policies.

If you want some more info on this let me know. Microsoft has a few good articles on IEAK and the Zero Admin Kit.

Thanks I knew that MS had to have a solution. I checked out the IEAK and it seems to meet my needs, and them some.
