Internet surfing being logged

[Gerard]

Hello to all.
I discovered my boss is spying on the surfing habits of the employers
on the network.
He is using the administrator at the server's computer to check the
logs of the networked computers.
I figured if I change the IP address of my computer , and/or change
the user name, by opening a new user account he wouldn't be able to
figure out the identity of the computer doing the surfing. I have
sufficient privileges to carry out these changes.
Is it possible also to change the computer name? I assume the server
is either a Windows 2000 or 2003 PC.

Thanks in advance for all the help.

Boss? As in employer? As in it's their network?

He is using the administrator at the server's computer to check the
logs of the networked computers.

the user name, by opening a new user account he wouldn't be able to
figure out the identity of the computer doing the surfing.

You figured wrong on a lot of counts.

I have
sufficient privileges to carry out these changes.

But not sufficient sense to think it through.

Is it possible also to change the computer name? I assume the server
is either a Windows 2000 or 2003 PC.
My PC is a Windows XP computer.

'Your' PC, or your employer's PC? Most companies would have your ass
out the door before you had time to call mommy or daddy to pick you up.
Don't plan on listing this job in your employment history.

Tell me, you're joking right?

Really, which is this; a joe-job or a troll? The real Gerard do
something to piss you off?

Are you for real? New computer name = new machine, how exactly do you
expect to join the new machine to the domain? How do you plan on adding
a new user and or machine on the domain without domain administrator
privileges? Do you think that your boss is stupid to the point of not
noticing these things?

I suggest that you brush up your resume, you will probably need it if
you try a stupid stunt like the one that you are now planing!

Unless you're doing something _stupid_, you shouldn't worry 'bout your boss
spying on your surfing habits (assuming your company has a policy stating
that he has the right to do so). =)

John,
I managed to decrypt the Administrators PW and nobody seems to have
noticed.
So what is the next step?

Hey hey .
Maybe its just the thrill of defeating his defenses.

John,

Which Administrator password? The local one? Do you think that local
administrators have domain privileges? In any case if you were "smart"
enough to decrypt the password you should be smart enough to figure the
rest out for yourself!
