Hello Everyone,

I am new to scripting and i am maintaining a domain, now the management has
put a requirement of copying every users temp int folder and ie history from
all clients, which should be appended everytime, i have already created a
folder and inside the folder i have created a folder for every user, so every
ten minutes it should be updated.

Urgent help required

May I politely suggest that even if you find a script to do this, it's
unrealistic for your management to expect that it will be useful to them?
Who is going to review this ever-growing pile of data? It's not going to
give you some easy reporting on whether someone is wasting time at work.
Frankly, I think it's insane. If they want to monitor what users are
accessing, and do any kind of filtering, etc., they should get ISA.

hi lanwench

The problem is that i am working at an educational instituition, the main
problem for me is that we are giving students access at hostels through the
domain users and they are downloading a lot of unwanted stuff, which we want
to stop, and when we talk about filtering, how can u filter total porn sites
and p2p sharing sites through ISA???

That's one of the main things ISA is used *for*. :-)
