Are you wanting to put Linux on the desktops as well??
If not I have a group policy and some lockdown notes that will work with
2000/XP.
Though I know you don't want to go straight over and I understand that,
maybe when you are ready you could take a look at my project karoshi (
www.karoshi.org.uk http://www.karoshi.org.uk), we use a combination of
dansguardian and squid on our proxy server.
Are you secondary or primary? I assume your sec because of the amount of
servers....

Hi,
We currently run a proprietary only network consisting of 5 servers with 2 acting as files servers and dc's, 1 a antivirus server and successmaker server, 1 running sql and pass and the last running ISA with surfcontrol.
I would like to move over to Linux for the most of my network, but due to the existing constraints of Successmaker and PASS, I cant do a lot, unless you have any suggestions. I do know Pearson are investigating cross platform capabilities.
Anyway, my licensing is up for surfcontrol soon and I want to try if squid or similar can do the job. I know of dansguardian and squidguard, but don't know if there any good. My main question is what Linux distro shall I go for and what caching and filtering solution will do what isa and surfcontrol do?
I have a hardware firewall, so the firewall features in isa are not needed. I do require ad compatibility with transparent authentication. Real time monitoring/monitoring would be good too.
I've looked at censornet, but was not impressed because of i.e. always asking for authentication.
Also, if I decide to move to Linux, how can you customise and lock down the desktop environment. We have decent pc's here, so a way to do this without ltsp would be handy.
Thank you for your time
Alan
