Hi all I am a newbie to IIS. My boss was askig if there was a way we could track the amount of web hits on our Intranet site that is on IIS 6.0. I have done some research and found the webhits.dll. I am not sure exactly what this does and if it will be what I am looking for.

ANy help would be greatly apperciated! Thanks!!

There are various products out there that will give you a myriad of visitor information by analyzing the IIS logfiles. You can google search iis logfile analyzer for some results.

alternatively, you could write a script that will increment a count. Lots of free code out there. These can also be designed to do various thing...chck user ip address, set cookies so user not counted twice...and so on.

Hope this helps

I just went through a similar situation. What I ended up with is a website statistics & logfile analysis program called AWSTATS.

It's a script which is written in the PERL language, and requires a PERL interpriter in order to run on Windows. Also, it does not have a full graphical point-n-click setup process, so most of the setup (copying files, creating a configration, modifying your webserver's log file format, and creating a scheduled task to update the results) must be done manually.

For me, it took quite a bit of reading and playing around with the configuration before I got it working, but after only 2 days with it, I'm quite pleased. I thought it might be a bit overkill for my small website, but the information it provides can be very valuable when you are troubleshooting problems or planning for future changes.

Everything you need for it can be found at
Oh, and I think it was originally developed on a UNIX or LINUX system, as it's default configuration and examples are for the APACHE web server, but it can be used on a lot of other systems including IIS on Windows.

Just be sure to read the documentaion.
