Veritas Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Well time has come for me to shut down some netusage for some guys at work. Trying to find what some of the better programs are for being able to restrict a users permissions on windows xp pro as well as specific website content (yeah they got into porn, and yes they're fucking stupid). So that being said, I know I can edit up individual permission access as far as security and what not goes, but what are some other things I could do to limit people from being able to install things but not shut them down with having to access things or write to directories that aren't in their my documents folder? Im more of a mac guy in that aspect then in PC mostly because ive yet to have to limit adults from using websites they shouldn't be on company time plus having to let them have access to certain directories. Any of you pc guys out there, if you could, post up in here. I'd appreciate it a ton. T.c. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recklessOP Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 i'm not sure what your company does. do the employees have a lot of spare time? killing time is one thing, looking at porn and loading up the company computer with software is another. if they have work to do, they shouldn't be screwing around... if your company doesn't have a clear policy regarding computer use, and they're too stupid to know better, then maybe they deserve a warning. if they do it again, i'd fire them. you shouldn't have to babysit an employee...

Guest doggunracing Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Do you want to block specific sites, or just adult ones. If the latter, just install some cybersitter-type parental control. It blocks most adult stuff I would think and they're mostly free.

Balian Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Well you could install a "net nanny" or if you feel up to it, you can do an GPO. Then set the permissions for that group. Windows networking leave a lot of oppturunity to do what you want to do with it. You can make it so tight that they cannot even hit the start button if you wanted to.

Gergwheel1647545492 Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 We use a piece of software called surfcontrol. The new version of surfcontrol that we installed is amazing, and it blocks sites based on Percentage of skin showing. it is not free but i think it is fairly cheap.
