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).

squid_unix_group(8)					      System Manager's Manual					       squid_unix_group(8)

NAME

       squid_unix_group - Squid UNIX Group external_acl helper

SYNOPSIS

       squid_unix_group [-g groupname] [-g groupname...] [-p]

DESCRIPTION

       This helper allows Squid to base access controls on users memberships in UNIX groups.

       -g groupname
	      Specifies a group name to match.

       -p     Also match the users primary group from /etc/passwd

EXAMPLES

       This squid.conf example defines two Squid acls. usergroup1 matches users in group1, and usergroup2 matches users in group2 or group3

	      external_acl_type unix_group %LOGIN /usr/local/squid/libexec/squid_unix_group -p

	      acl usergroup1 external unix_group group1

	      acl usergroup2 external unix_group group2 group3

NOTES

       By  default  up to 11 groups can be matched in one acl (including commandline specified groups). This limit is defined by MAX_GROUPS in the
       source code.

KNOWN ISSUES

       must specify each alias by name.
