Thanks for the reply Jeremy,
The server is currently setup using all sites as virtual hosts using host headers under one website. All domains, sites, and accounts share one log. We jsut finished writing our own in house parser that splits the logs and places a copy of just that users raw logs into their hosting accounts home directory.
So either way I guess I would have to write a _vbscript_ that took the users user name and then ran the analog script each time specifying a new user name, new config, new reports dir, etc. for each user - does that seem like the easiest way?
Is there a list of (or are there even any) command line options for the analog.exe program - or is completely from the config file only?

Analog creates one report each time you run it. So if you want reports for each user/vitual host, then you will need to run it once for each of those. For efficiency it makes sense to separate out the log files for each user so you are only processing the ones you need for the report.
IIS by default puts log files for each web site into a separate folder (C:\Windows\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC#). If you have a single web site (W3SVC) for all the hosts on your server, then all those will be logged to the same place. Unless you are logging the hostname/virtualhost of the site, there is no way that Analog (or any other tool) can distinguish which lines go to which virtual host. You'll need to go into your IIS admin and change the log file field settings to include this, if you haven't already.
Are there really several *thousand* virtual hosts for a single site? Obviously you'd want to do this with some scripts. Take a look at the HOW-TO section for some examples of how to set up virtual host processing. Also, you might want to look for some tools to split the logfiles apart once you have the virtual hostnames in them. There are a number of such tools (splitlogs comes to mind) in the Unix arena designed for apache. You could probably write a WSH script to do this pretty easily too, especially if the log files are in a known and stable format.
