You can do exactly this from within your AD DC. Depending on the policies you currently have, you may have to create a new policy specifically for this. See http://www.mensys.nl/netop/docs/NNF_deployment.pdf for the general directions.

On a different note, I would seriously question anything I was using that only allowed me to use IE (as opposed to any other browser). Chances are, you have no real reason to even have to use Windows in a corporate environment, especially if your applications are already web-based. Since your critical applications are web based (I'm guessing due to your professed "need"), someone messed up one of the main reasons to have web-based applications to begin with. That being the ability to connect using cheaper, non-proprietary, platform independant clients.

On yet another note, if your Windows systems admin doesn't know how to apply group policies to a corporate AD domain, they either need to be replaced or trained or your whole network should be migrated to Linux (mainly for security reasons). IMO Windows doesn't belong on a corporate network to begin with, but if you're not using AD to its full potential someone in charge over there really needs to take another look at the way your infrastructure is operating. I don't mean for this to sound rude, nor am I trying to spout the "joys of open source solutions" to you. Rather, I'm giving you sound advice which may stop a future incident from crippling your infrastructure (and perhaps costing people jobs).

cachemgr.cgi

cachemgr.cgi(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   cachemgr.cgi(8)

NAME

       cachemgr.cgi - squid HTTP proxy manager interface

SYNOPSIS

       http://your.server/cgi-bin/cachemgr.cgi

DESCRIPTION

       The  cache  manager (cachemgr.cgi) is a CGI utility for displaying statistics about the Squid HTTP proxy process as it runs. The cache man-
       ager is a convenient way to manage the cache and view statistics without logging into the server.

FILES

       ./cachemgr.conf
       /etc/squid/cachemgr.conf
	      The access configuration file defining which Squid servers may be managed via this  cachemgr.cgi	program.  Each	line  specifies  a
	      server:port followed by an optional description

	      The  server  name  may  contain  shell wildcard characters such as *, [] etc.  A quick selection dropdown menu is automatically con-
	      structed from the simple server names.

	      Specifying :port is optional. If not specified then the default proxy port is assumed. :* or :any matches any  port  on  the  target
	      server.

SECURITY

       cachemgr.cgi calls the requested server on the requested port using HTTP and returns a formatted version of the response. To avoid abuse it
       is recommended to configure your web server to restrict access to the cachemgr.cgi program.

       Configuration examples for many common web servers can be found in the Squid FAQ.
