Re: ISA Restict Internet Question

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Steve, I like that idea and it would take a little bit of knowledge by the
end user in order to counter that. BUT... bottom line is if the computer
cannot join the domain and there is no login would the SBS/ISA by default
deny that computer access to the internet because there would be no
associated user that can validate to the SBS Internet Users group?

Also, what else can the I tell the client to expect with Home vs. Pro?

While I totally agree that they should upgrade to XP Pro here is one way to
achieve what you want. Assign the XP Home computers a reserved IP address in
your DHCP properties. Then make a new ISA deny rule for those IP addresses
to prevent those computers from accessing the internet.

Kevin, I get all of that, but I also have been able to map resources on a
domain by creating a user account on the domain and the user supplying the
right credentials at the time of connection. I know the Home cannot join
a
domain but they can access domain resources, hence my question about ISA
and
internet.

It's a pain in my bottom to deal with these Home clients but I can only
forcefully suggest things without making the final decisions since I don't
pay the bills. What I need to acurately do is spell out the client what
he
can/cannot do with Home vs. Professional and what his life would be like.

I just wish I was dumb enough to have one of the Home machines around here
to test things out but I wasn't smart enough to buy one <g>

Thanks for your help and the link, it was pretty funny.

And there's the rub ... if you cannot join the workstation to the domain,

cake and eat it to, as someone once said long before computers were
invented.

Tell your client that's the price for buying XP Home.

I have a client who is proposing to run an SBS 2003 Prem. server with
ISA.
His only problem is that he has a few clients that are running XP Home
not
XP
Professional. For some of those Home users he does not want them to
access
the internet (aka not part of SBS Internet Users Group). How would
this
all
work with the Home users since they would be connected to the network
and
get
an IP but have no domain login?

I have tried going to route of having him upgrade is Home users to
Professinal users but there is the cost factor for him and he may want
to
wait some time and replace those machines a few at a time.
