The Pricing Isn’t Half Bad Either

Java is not necessary in an educational setting. Except for programming, testing, and developement. Books and stuff If you take out Java, you take out Minecraft... And all of the other games/services that use Java. Unless you have a specific reason to have Java in your environment, you can just create a script that will remove it from all machines.

Edit -- Also, to anyone here that uses Impero, you can put Minecraft on the Application Blacklist, I've had to do this before with Powershell, because there isn't an option in Group Policy to block it at the moment, like there is with Command Prompt.

@afeitguy I block everything at Edge. I allow outbound traffic on an individual basis, rule by rule. It is impossible to have everything outbound allowed and then block what you don't want. This is especially true in Colleges and Schools, where students are constantly trying bypass security measures. Although... Again... Try Impero !!!! It really does solve quite a few of the problems school IT tech's face, to anyone who hasn't used it and is thinking it's a NetSupport rip off, it really isn't... Read the full product description on their website, or request a trial, you won't be disappointed. The pricing isn’t too bad either. Think NetSupport meets Bit9, but without the high price tag.
