Heres the problem...The boss wants to restrict certain employees to visit only certain web sites.(not restrict completely) However he also wants certain people to have unlimited access.(him) I know that a proxy would be a good solution with either squid or ISA. I do not want the headache of messing with a proxy server. Setting up squid and the authentication would be a pain and ISA cost to much. I have read that this could be done through GPO however I cannot find a link on how to do this. I have tried google and ms support site with no luck. We have a w2k domain with roughly 100 users. I know I will have to create a new group and only apply the gpo to that group.

My question is: Can someone provide a link or directions on how to restrict employees access to only certain sites or possible give me instructions?
Any help or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
 
Thank you for such a quick reply. I have one other question though. I have messed with this a little in the past few mins and cannot figure out how to add more then one site. I tried seperating them with :,; neither of those work. Is there a way to do this or is this specifically for allowing access to only one site?
 
Yes, you have to use ;
ex: *.dell.*;*microsoft.*;etc (up to 256) chars
