    I am having issues with this. I have set up the new policy correctly and pointed it to a test account in AD. I have forced the GPO update on both the server and workstation numerous times and still the policy is not working. Can you help me understand where I might be missing something?

    This will work for IE, but several of our computers have other browsers on them such as Chrome and Firefox. Though initially blocked, the user can use these browsers to open the internet settings and uncheck the 'Use Proxy' checkbox. (In fact Chrome tells the user how to do this exact thing!) We need to keep Chrome due to our business (unfortunately) using Google apps. Any idea as how to disable Internet access through these as well?

    @Brian8521 Just set the folder security on the Firefox/Google (or Chrome) folder to exclude the users/groups that you don't want to have access to the executable. Make sure to let 'System' and 'Creator Owner' have full rights to the directory should you have to set advanced security.

    I need to disable Internet access for a group of people on a specific project. The issue is that in order to access the project data they have to log into a server via a web browser. Will using this method allow both of those things to happen?
    1. Disable Internet access
    2. Allow Intranet access
