Windows Network Analysis/Management Software

I'm looking for suggestions for a software - either paid or open source - that is Windows based and can monitor and control the network traffic of a small Windows domain (about 15 users).

The software I am looking for would be installed on a Windows Server, would be able to track websites/programs used by user or computer, and then could enforce policies by user, computer, group, etc (AD integration would be a bonus but not necessary) by blocking websites, programs, or protocols/ports.

I would prefer a commercial software but I am willing to look at open source.

Suggestions?

So far the best one I have found is ActivTrak (www.activtrak.com) which is a great Cloud-based management tool that gives you the ability to monitor 3 systems for free. For anything more than that there are paid options. Running it now on a few stations as a test, but so far it seems to offer exactly what I was looking for.

When experts give answers, as they have here, then they should be awarded points and A levels. The fact that the asker was also able to find some products does not change the fact that the asker got help.

So split the points between lionelmm ID: 41019681 and Carol Chisholm ID: 41027968.

The answer you gave the points to does none of the above, none so curious as to why it was selected whereas at least my suggestion addresses some of the above.

You're right - my apologies, I was a little too hasty in closing this question.

Is there anyway this can be altered after the fact?

you have to request attention and have a moderator fix it for you
