Using Windows Vista: Controlling Communication With the Internet

Overview The Microsoft Windows Vista operating system includes a variety of technologies that communicate with the Internet to provide increased ease-of-use and functionality. Browser and e-mail technologies are obvious examples, but there are also technologies such as automatic updating that help users obtain the latest software and product information, including bug fixes and security patches. These technologies provide many benefits, but they also involve communication with Internet sites, which administrators might want to control. This white paper provides information about the communication that flows between components in Windows Vista and sites on the Internet, and describes steps to take to limit, control, or prevent that communication in an organization with many users.
