RE: Content Advisor



Terence,

I have tried both scenarios but they both give me the same result.
Unless I enable the content manager on the machine manually the sites are not
blocked. But if I click enable on the content manager on a machine, they get
prompted to enter a password to get to the restricted sites. Is there
something I am missing? Thanks for all the help..

Hello DT,

Thank you for your kind update.

Based on my test, I think it is possible to use GPO to deploy the Content
Advisor Settings. I suggest we perform the following steps:

Scenario I: Deploy the settings by create Group Policy on Domain Controller
OU or other created OUs.
------------------
1. Open AD computers and users on the server.
2. Create a new OU.
3. Add one of the client to the OU.
4. Right click the OU. (If you are using Domain Controller container,
please just add the computer to this container and right click the folder)
and choose Properties.
5. Go the GPO tab.
6. Click Create a new group policy.
4. Go to the following policy:

User Configuration\Windows Settings\Internet Explorer
Maintenance\Security\Security Zones and Content Ratings.

5. Click Import the current Content Ratings settings and click Modify
Settings.
6. Click General and Create a Password.
7. Set a Password for it.
8. Go to Approved Sites.
9. Input web site you want to block and click Never.
10. Click OK and quit the GPO settings.
12. Click Start -> Run.
13. Input gpupdate /force.
14. Click Yes all the way.

After rebooting the client which is added to this OU, you will find the
Group Policy has been applied on the client, password and the site
limintion has been take action.

Scenario II: Deploy the settings by link Group Policy from other created
OUs.
-------------------------------------
In this scenario, you need not to create a new GPO on the OU. You can add a
group policy created on other OU or domain.

1. Open AD computers and users on the server.
2. Create a new OU.
3. Add one of the clients to the OU.
4. Right click the OU.
5. Go the GPO tab.
6. Click Add a new group policy.
7. Pick the policy which is created in the OU in first Scenario.
12. Click Start -> Run.
13. Input gpupdate /force.
14. Click Yes all the way.

Reboot the test client and test the issue again, you will find all the
group policy works on the client.

Hope the steps help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,
