Hi,
I have a few users who spend more of their time surfing on the Internet than concentrating on their job.
Is there a way I can block only certain user's access from surfing webpages but allowing them to be connected to the Internet still to send/receive email using MS Outlook.
Can this be done with Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003 Standard Edition.
If not, what 3rd party software can I use to do it.

You need ISA server. So you may want to investigate upgrading to SBS 2003 Premium.
Otherwise, you're gonna need some type of security gateway in front. ISA would still be a good choice, but expensive. HP sells an "ISA Appliance" box, which is an HP server with Windows 2003 and ISA 2004 on it.
