Disabling a user's internet access

The manager of my client's medical company asked me to
disable internet access for one user.

A while back, the doctors had an issue viewing X-rays
over the internet using special software, and the only
solution was to apply the ISA allow rule to any request.
Not exactly ideal security, but it was the only way to
get the software to work properly. I need to maintain
this setting.

Is there any other way to disable a user's internet
access? Maybe a group policy? I don't have much
experience with group policies, and didn't find anything
obvious.

Thanks for your time,

Corey

Take the user out of the Backoffice Internet Group.

H Corey:

Thank you for using the Microsoft Small Business Server newsgroups. As I
understand it, you need to disable Internet Access for one user. If that
user always uses the same workstation, the easiest way to do this would be
to Enable the Content Advisor in Internet Explorer and then do not add any
sites as allowed. The Content Advisor, by design, blocks every site on the
Internet except ones added to it's Exceptions list. This would effectively
lock down Internet Explorer on that workstation and keep the user from
accessing the Internet.

If the user does not always use the same workstation then ISA is the only
sure way to control access and the simplest solution would be to make sure
the Firewall client is installed on all the workstations, then set up a
Deny Site and Content Rule specific to this user. There is no group policy
to deny Internet access, it is controlled by ISA server or the browser
itself.
