asked on

ISA Server

We would like to begin monitoring "Who goes to what websites" and if possible, "How long they're there."  There is so much conflicting documentation on ISA server, I can't tell if it does this or if I need additional software.

Any ideas?

First of all, what version do you have. ISA can certainly do it and it is easily set up. Let me know the version and I'll walk you through.

Nice work Keith; points!!!
No problem. Any other issues, give me a call in the firewalls topic area.

You may find that it deals with IP addresses more than names. If you want to catch all the individual usernames from Active Directory etc (and to filter everything to the 9th degree, you may want to consider deploying the ISA firewall client. This lets you block/allow absolutely anything and everything, but thats for another day :)

Ohhh...I like that.  Where is some information about that?
lol
On the CD there is a directory called clients or MSclients.

What it does is change to default web port outging from 80 to 8080 and makes things authenticate to the proxy server. So you then get control of things by using your active directory user names and groups etc.

When you are ready, log a question and we can go through it as you need. I woud STRONGLY suggest that you put it on one machine or two first and get used to it before you deploy it estate-wide.

You are about to become a very powerful and popular person :) Everyone is going to want to be your best friend....
Doing myself out of points here but this is a good link to get you started with.
