> Can I disable IE with a GPO so users cant browse the web.
You may try the following steps to forbid users to browse websites.
1. Open the Group Policy -> User configuration -> Windows Settings
->Internet Explorer Maintenance -> Security
2. Double click "Security Zones and Content Ratings" in the right pane.
3. Click "Import the current Content Rating settings" in the Content
Ratings option -> Modify Settings
4. Click "Approved Sites" tab.
5. Input the web sites which you permit the users to browse.
6. Ok.
Also, you can remove IE content tab from IE option dialog
Group Policy -> User configuration -> Administrative Template->Windows
Components->Internet Explorer->Disable Content Page
In addition, you could use certain proxy or firewall software to manage the
user permissions.
I hope the information proves helpful!
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to let me know. I am glad
to be of assistance.
Thanks and regards,
Alex Zhang

| Your best bet is to open up one of the ADM templates on your computer and
| use that as a guide. It is very easy to see what they are doing in the
| template. The template is just text, so there is no compilation at all.
You
| only need to create an ADM template for your setting, which is under the
| HKLM registry handle key.
|
| Once you have it completed, you will just import it into a GPO. To do
this,
| edit the GPO, then right click on the Administrative Templates node in the
| GPO. You will see Add Template, then you can add in your new template.
|
| After it is added in, make sure you show ALL settings in the GPO, not just
| policies. Depending on which interface you are using, you might see
| different wording. However, the wording you are looking for says something
| like "Show only policies", which you don't want. You want to show policies
| and preferences, as they are called.
