Need a report of all sites visited from a Windows 2008 R2 TS/RDP Server

On a Windows 2008 R2 server in a domain running RDP/Terminal services, I need a a utility or a good way to generate a report by day of the websites users have accessed when logged in remotely by RDP.

I suspect some of them are going to sites and possibly downloading where they shouldn't.

1. What's the best way to generate a report and track activity so I get that info?

2. After I determine the surfing activity, what's the best way to restrict it? We have a Sonicwall TZ210W firewall. I'm not sure if they have a feature that provides a report of sites visited by user and the ability to restrict them.

3. I'd also like to get a text log I cam quickly view that list all users and the time they logged in and out.

4. I'm also looking to block inbound access by country like block all non-US IP's from attempting to log in. We are getting some attempted hacks from outside that is being caught and blocked by security software I installed named Syspeace.

I will renewing the sonicwall subscription. There isn't enough in the budget for viewpoint.  We tried sso. Score and it involved to many changes to the system and users. Any suggestions on a free syslog app that work well with little maintenance needed?

What subscription exactly? ViewPoint comes with CGSS. I'd recommend CGSS over any other SonicWALL service. It gives you the most bang for your buck plus support.

SSO is actually pretty easy to setup: https://www.fuzeqna.com/sonicwallkb/ext/kbdetail.aspx?kbid=5952

Install the Agents: https://www.fuzeqna.com/sonicwallkb/ext/kbdetail.aspx?kbid=5948

Configure the Agents: https://www.fuzeqna.com/sonicwallkb/ext/kbdetail.aspx?kbid=5949

Try the 30-day free trail of the Analyzer. It's not free but the config is minimal.

Here are the sys-reqs: https://www.sonicwall.com/us/en/support/2213.html?fuzeurl=https://www.fuzeqna.com/sonicwallkb/ext/kbsearch.aspx?kbid=9695

Here's how to set it up: https://www.fuzeqna.com/sonicwallkb/ext/kbdetail.aspx?kbid=9710

Let me know if you have any other questions!
Unfortunately, I can't give you recommendation outside of what I already have. I have not had experience with any free-ware apps that do what you're looking for.
I upgraded the firmware on the firewall Saturday and I will be renewing some of the subscriptions on the firewall this week. After that's done. I'll let you know if anything improves or if I need to try an additional solution.
Sounds good, let me know how it goes!
thanks
