Is the a way through GP that i can block certain users from using internet? i
would also like a banner message to appear saying their internet use has been
removed is there a way to do that via GP? i realize i could just go to the WS
and put in a bogus GW but then there would be no banner

Hi Steven,

I don't know how do you provide internet access to your users, but the most
correct way to do that kind of restrictions is thru proxy/firewall server. If
you provide direct internet access to your clients you can configure a fake
proxy or even restrict them from running Internet Explorer or other browsing
client thru Group Policies.

Regards,
