RE: Website Monitoring



Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

Based on my experience, ISA server can achieve your goal to monitor user
access internet website. ISA Server not only provides centralized control
over network security policy but also generates customize reports.

More info please refer to following article:

Configure Reports

How to generate a monthly report in ISA Server 2004
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/837576/

Note; ISA only provides the total for every website, If you want to track
the individual users on ISA, you may need to use some third party
application. For your convenience, I have provided the following
information:

| websites. I.e. User\Computer has been visiting www.movies.com,
www.espn.com,
