    PC trace on domian ?


    Lately my pc on work have been joined into a domain, there is no third party software installed at my pc at all. Does that mean that they can know what i am opening or browsing or how much traffic is on my pc like downloading.

    Please give me details on this matter.

    Thanks.

    Based on the information provided who can say? It would depend upon the physical set up, what software may be present to monitor workstations and employees, and many other factors besides...

    Hello,

    They would only know this if they had some sort of monitoring setup on the network. By default connecting a PC to a domain will not monitor internet traffic.

    There are many ways of monitoring this though. The easiest thing to do would be not to download from the domain PC - Or any other PC on a network that you do not control.

    Why not ask your IT department? Nobody here can say based on the information you've provided so far... not being awkward, but there are just insufficient details to do so :)

    Agreed.

    There are too many ways of doing it without you knowing. To name two.... Port Mirroring or Packet Sniffing.
