Deploying Internet Explorer Settings

Joe Morris · 03-25-2008, 11:33 PM

Our office network uses Server 2003 as our file server, but all workstations have access to the internet independently. This is necessary because the context sensitive help files for our main business software require a direct internet connection to get complete content from the software company. I need to limit internet explorer on all workstations to just the websites we use for business. I know how to manually limit each workstation using Content Advisor, but I was hoping to be able to set up one workstation, and then copy the settings to the other workstations by either copying the appropriate files to each workstation, or at least by cutting and pasting the "allowed" sites into the Content Advisor list. Is this possible? Thanks for any help!

I'd do the limiting at a common point, say the router.
