Tracking Internet use with Exchange 5.5

I use MS Proxy Server. Each computer is setup to connect to the Internet through the Proxy Server. Everytime that someone goes online, it logs who is on and how long they stay at each page.

Here's a good article on the subject:

I don't think you can do that with just Exchange. Most proxy server software will allow that. Microsoft Small Business Server 2000 also has that capacity

Along with using a proxy server (if you do) if your users go through a firewall, they also record traffic data. All you need at that point is something to parse the data and make it presentable.
A product I like is from WebTrends. They make log analyziers that can give you the reports you want, in HTML with bar graphs, statistics, and enough breakdown reporting levels to throw management into a coma! I once printed out over 50 pages of web usage statistics, gave it to a manager, an never againheard of any requests for what the employees were doing!
But the products they make are great. There are separate Firewall Suite and Log Analyziers. They can read virtually any log type.
