Blocking web sites

[soup_or_power]

Hi
We have to restrict the IE browsing to a few web sites. Using
Tools->InternetOptions I know how to restrict the sites. But the
problem is there are 10 machines and entering all the sites into IE is
too consuming. Is there a faster way? For instance, is there a file
that IE writes to that can be copied across the machines?

Thanks for your help

Hi,

Yes, sure there is a way. It is not as simple as copying a file. You
should use the IEAK Profile Manager.

See this article:

Kind regards

Hi Hans
I read the URL. But it doesn't say how to block the sites en masse.
Thanks

These URL's are no good. There has to be an easier way to administer a
LAN say by downloading a file or a service pack.

Thanks

If you want to administer lots of IE users and machines over a network, then
the IEAK that Vincenzo mentioned is the way to go.
