Tracking internet usage

Greetings Experts,

  I need to gather information on internet sites viewed by users, throughout our domain.  I know that you can go into documents and settings and history on the machines to gather that information both physically and via tunnel, but I wanted to ask if there was just an easier way to do it.

Thanks in advance,

Bruce

Sure, what sort of internet gateway do you have in place?  Does it do logging?

Agreed.  
If it's just stats like Top 25, check if your firewall does this.  SonicWall does this out of the box.

Top 25 sites by # of hits
Top 25 Bandwidth by user (LAN address)
Top 25 Bandwidth by service


We use a Barracuda web filter here, and it does all of the blocking/tracking statistics very well.  Very customizable.
