Internet Usage Monitoring

[Guest]

IS there a way to monitor/control users internet activity? I would like to
be able to view/monitor internet activity and controll where users are
allowed to go.

You are asking about two different things. A proxy server like ISA will
control the type of traffic,....and will also control what destinations they
are allowed as long as you don't get too carried away with the idea. If
you want to get carried aways with content filtering then you need a content
filtering product. Some are written to operate as a "plugin" to an existing
proxy server.

For example you can use ISA server with Surfcontrol installed as an
"add-on".

These cost $$$$$$. What you are asking for is not a simple (or cheap)
thing.

Hi ,

Yep! I totaly agree with Phillip that ISA can be a good option to achieve
your purpose.

Check following case:

ISA Server 2004
