Hello



We have a SBS2003 and a broadband internet connection. The SBS is used as
fileserver, printerserver, DC and Exchangeserver.

Our client computers connect to the internet using the SBS as DNS server.

Is it possible to prevent client access to some web-sites. i.e.
www.youtube.com?

Regards
Jens

the "only" real solution is to (upgrade to and) install ISA 2004 from the
SBS 2003 Premium Edition (as THE gatekeeper) to securly prevent people
visiting unwanted websites.

AS Tobias suggests, ISA will allow you to do this, but if you do not have
SBS Premium you may want to consider an edge firewall (not a consumer grade
router) that will allow such limits. Many of these will also control the
incoming spam and block the known places you would not want your teen age
daughter to go out of the box. The downside is that they are subscription
based, usually, so over the long haul they could cost more than SBS Premium.

If you have a spare computer hanging around you could try Untangle as an
edge device. Has a learning curve, but so does ISA, although the
integration with SBS hides most of it.

I think you can also do this by using opendns.org for DNS, and applying
filters at that level.

Les is correct. OpenDNS will work just fine and you can get reports about whose attempting to go where.

Thank you all.

I think OpenDns is the solution for us.
