> 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!
