I am using Win Server 03 R2 SP3. I have several gpos applied to my forest, but there is one thing that doesn't seem to work. I have tried to block certain websites based on user configuration. Youtube, Myspace, facebook, ebay,..etc and When I set up a gpo to block this through the content advisor it doesn't work. Domain>User Config>Windows settings>Internet explore main>security>Content! I have imported them from the server, and to no avail! Someone please help!! I don't know what else to do. I don't want to do it at the firewall level because then NO ONE can hit those sites. I would like to do it based on user credentials, and the OUs they belong to.

Thanks!

Hi and welcome to PC Help Forum

Are you following this method exactly? Chrisse.se - How to restrict internet access Domain wide or for a single Site or OU with Group Policies

Yes! This is the only way I know of to restrict certain sites based on user configure. I am doing it the same way. It's weird it's like the gpo doesn't refresh, nothing happens. Except on the server. It works on the server end.

im only learning server now but we use the run command - gpupdate /force to apply changes without a restart. give it a go. thats if you havent already
