 Workgroup PC monitoring
Monitoring software, Network monitoring, Workgroup Servers, Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows Workgroups and Networking
We have an office of computers, both XP and Windows 7, networked together as a workgroup. The boss is asking if there is a tool available that can monitor activity, website usage or what is going on within the workgroup to report activity.  We have a Windows 7 PC “acting” as a file share server and other things but not being in a domain environment what would be the options for monitoring activity a workgroup, blocking access to websites and reporting?  thank you.[o:p][/o:p]

Hello ConFLicker,

You can check this answer to a similar question.

Being in a workgroup might not be the best for management purposes, but it is doable.
Basically you need to "force" all internal network resources to go through a proxy server. The proxy will have the rules you configure - to allow or deny access to/from whatever you need - and will report user activities.
