I am sorta new to this, but this is my problem, we work in an office which uses active directory, i have setup multiple accounts, i have setup group policys etc. My problem is recently we have encountered a problem with a website, the only way we have found to access it is to go onto the host file on each computer and add the ip address and the website address - 192.168.256.36 www.bwfghwoefgh.com (example)
I was wondering if there is a way using actove direcory to make this sorta change using a group policy or something, instead of me having to access each computer on the directory and edit the host file

Create an A record for it in DNS. Make sure all your clients are pointing to the DNS server as there primary look up zone. Thats the whole purpose of AD and DNS. There is no need in this day an age to be manually editting host files. That went out in the 90`s. Additionally providing its on the same subnet all clients should be able to access the intranet site via its NETBIOS name. IE: http://(hostname of webserver)
