Okay, the general manager wants to know who visited a certain web site. I
have a mix of 98 and 2k machines. Is there a tool to search a system for a
certain web address via the history file? Does the user have to be logged
in or can I log in as a domain admin and see all the histories?

We are not looking for porn sites, etc. This is a very specific site that
was accessed.

I think the GM is wasting time, but he's the GM :-)

I realize this is off-topic, but there are some really knowledgeable people
here.

Depends on how the machines are setup on the network. If the entire C
drives are shared then you will be able to search from your console - just
use the search facility on each machine.

I actually tried that and it doesn't seem to search the history file (at
least not for me). I picked a site in my history file and searched, but no
results.

There is a chance that the person who did it is smart enough to delete his
history file and clear the temporary internet files. It may be next to
impossible to find the culprit. It is not impossible though. There should
still be traces on the computer. You should do some searches on the net on
the subject.

I know this is the obvious answer, but it time you talked to your boss about
installing ISA server, and turn the logging on for user access. Otherwise
the chances of finding actual traces are slim, if the user is savvy enough
to erase their history file.
