Hello everyone, We are facing menace of porn sites in our organisation since the day we started internet. I want to curb it, we have the following configuration. I have active directory installed on my servers and clients are configured accordingly. The client log on their machines on the server domain and through active directory. Now I wanted to make sure that all the clients access internet through their active directory. Also there should be a log on the server as to which sites have been accessed by the user. Is this thing possible using active directory. If not, then is there any commercial software which gives us this feature. I guess many of you must have faced similar problem, can you share your experience and solutions in similar cases.

not an attribute of active directory. You need a proxy/monitoring server. ISA server can do this as well as other 3rd party apps. You should have a firewall router with content filtering. The two together will give you the granularity you need to control internet access. 'tis the season to be of good cheer. Wishing one and all happy times with family and friends.

There are plenty of solutions. I always suggest that no business computer have access to the internet, at all. Get a junky common computer to allow limited access to the internet. Since no one will do that. Things like host files and proxy servers with good proxy pac files. Port control is vital start. As above, routers and firewalls either software based or hardware based are normally used. Products like http://www.untangle.com/ are useful if you want software based control. "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

Hopefully a Policy will be developed that prohibits users from accessing pornography at work. That should help "So won’t you give this man his wings What a shame To have to beg you to see We’re not all the same What a shame" - Shinedown
