Greetings,

 

I'm running into a issue that is regards to the Internet Explorer Content Advisor. For my project, which is due next Wednesday, I need to set up a Windows Server 2012 and a client Windows 8.1.

Everything so far is working perfectly, but the problem that I can't solve, even through I followed my book perfectly,  is that the Content Advisor isn't working properly.

 

The websites that I put into the Content Advisor are to be blocked.

 

When I visit those websites on my administrator account or the other user accounts, then I'm still able to visit the website. When I then go into Internet Options > Content Advisor and I input my administrator credentials, I am able to see the blocked websites that I have open.

 

Is someone able to help me out with this. I have to use IEAK/Content Advisor for the project. Two of my classmates have done it and their websites get blocked. The confusing comes from the fact that I did the same thing as they did.

Is the client PC on the domain? Also, how are you managing the Content Advisor? Are you doing it through group policy?

Yes the client PC is on the domain. I enabled Content Advisor in the GPO which enabled me to get the Content Advisor option in IE11's Internet Options.

Alright. Can the client PC ping the DC and vise versa? ping the hostname and the domain

Alright. Did you link it to a computer account or user account, talking about the policy and is it enforced?

Do you mean with computer account .. Computer Configuration GPO?

 

About the policy itself. Yes it's enforced.
