Using Content Advisor
We had quite a bit of trouble with people using YouTube and MySpace etc. in the lab. We needed a quick and dirty way to block access without investing in third party web filtering. See, we don't control the domain these machines are located on so any group policy implementation is out of the question. If our labs existed on their own subdomain and we had access to the DC every entry on this blog would be entirely different....different as in the Systems staff's jobs would be much easier. For this task we revised the LOCAL group policy on one machine to block access to facebook, youtube, and myspace. We then extracted the corresponding registry entries to be imported on other machines. The registry entry is entirely too long to post here. yes, I know there are easy ways to bypass this but it provides an additional layer of deterrence that's better than free reign.
