Is there a way to distribute a hosts file to clients using a GPO? I want to have the users log on and have the sites automatically blocked, or is there a easier way of doing this? Thanks jacob

Logon script would be the only way I can think of to do it. BTW, this is an inefficient way to do content filtering in my opinion. Please help survivors of Hurricane Katrina! www.redcross.org

Youd get better results using a third party sw like websense which filters at the router level

Mmm, ISA Server! Mmm, plug ins! "Milk was a bad choice!"

Yeah I use checkpoint where I am now and havent had a chance to use ISA much since the days of proxy. Websense isnt too bad but can be weird to setup the monitoring ports on managed switches with teamed NICS. Once it is setup though, you are done and it works very, very well.

we did use a login script to copy hosts files to users PC, before we put in (actually I put in DNS) login script is in this format cp \\<servername><path to file> c:\<path to etc> you need to have admin rights to the computer for it to work. IT pro for hire - will reformat for PC for a Bog Mac.

Thanks racoon i made a logon script and worked perfectly. The only thing i forgot was to add the /Z switch to overwrite the previous host file. But other than that works good. jacob
