OpenDNS – This service (free and pay versions) will allow you to restrict user website access, but uses their own DNS servers. Very simple to implement, works great with no software to install and works immediately. It also gives you metrics on what sites were blocked and what sites are being accessed (but not down to the user level). More details can be found here http://www.opendns.com/
SDExplorer – If you use the Microsoft SkyDrive service to store Office documents on the internet, you could use this program (free and pay versions) to help make your life easier. This allows you to treat the SkyDrive site just like you would a regular hard drive. No need to use a website to get your SkyDrive documents.
