What is the simplest way to prevent one of the accounts on one of PCs on the lan from accessing the net? It does not have to be super secure, just require a modicum of knowledge to bypass, which the users will not have. Famous last words.
The account should have access to the LAN however for network printers. If its more convenient, it would also be OK to block all accounts.
Is this something best done through groups?
Depending on what you really want and the circumstances of where this is the easiest way is to not give the machine a default gateway so it can't route anything to the internet, this would affect all users but you indicated this wasn't a problem?
