Thank you Todd! I'll do my testing and see what I can come up with.

Thank you everyone again for all the help.

Subject: Re: [mssms] How to get a list of browsers, versions, plug-ins, and 
browser history?

If I "had" to do this I would use this utility 
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/browsing_history_view.html
And script a solution that put the information into WMI somewhere.

It includes the url, the user, how many times they accessed the site, and with 
what browser. He already did all the heavy lifting, you would just need to 
stick into WMI and collect it.

I would recommend implementing a GPO that prevented users from deleting the 
browser history http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd349812.aspx

Then I would set the number of days to retain history using GPO "
Disable “Configuring History” "
Here is a good guide
http://maximumpcguides.com/windows-7/disable-configuring-history-in-internet-explorer/

Despite the naysayers I think It could be done as long as you do not want to 
run a report like all browser history for all users for all time Maybe only run 
the script to collect the data once a week so the differences do not keep 
coming up in HINV files and do not go into inventory history in the database 
Even better would be to run it every X days where X coincides with number of 
days to keep history and your delete aged inventory history settings

Also if you have a large site and a small server this might not be a good idea. 
But if you are asking how to do this I doubt you are on a large site with a 
proxy server etc because that is the appropriate place to do this, not sccm. 
But, it can be done, and not too difficult either.

Sherry could pound this out in an hour or 2 quite easily.

You're welcome :-)
