Internet Browsing History?

I am obviously aware that a users browsing history is saved on the C: drive of the clients PC. But is the history also saved on the server? If so, where?

Reason I ask is that somebody at work who has their own office has been looking at naughty stuff they shouldn't be!

OS is Windows 2000 server.

I wouldn't have thought so, unless setup specifically to save the user's profile to the server. That said, I don't even know if browsing history would be saved as part of that profile.

Does the proxy not do logging?

Look in their profile for a file called Index.dat, this can be opend with notepad and contains a reference of all site visited and i dont think it can be deleted by the user unless they have high security priveledges?

Indexdat-zap is a good app for reading these files properly too

No idea. I've had a good dig around the server and can't find it. My IT manager can access it but he must be looking on the actual client's temp internet files.

Thanks, i'll give that a go.
