Security

We use Windows 2000 Pro for the desktop OS. The hardware varies to some degree, but only with the processor speed, amount of RAM, hard drive type and size, and video cards. We use a standard image/load configuration for all of our computers. All have Pentium III and 4 processors. Most have S-3 Trio 64 or Nvidia Vanta video cards. And we use both Fujitsu and Maxtor drives.

What we really want is to load the software on our admin workstation and simply record what we see on the display. We aren't looking for a client side application. We aren't trying to monitor our users actively, just want the ability to record incidents if we should happen upon them again.

Does that work in reverse? The way I interpret this is that they want to record thelocal workstation. For PCA, don't you have to establish a session first?

Well, first let me clarify. We were looking for a software package that we could load on our administive workstation used to remote control computers with ZenWorks for Desktops 3.2. This function just like PC Anywhere. And we wanted a live play back.

Unfortunately, there really is no such product. The only products available are client based software packages that must be loaded on the workstation and run transparently in the background. And, reality is they only record the display in "screenprint" fashion at a determined interval -- it is not live play back. The software also can keep track of keystrokes, and give you a text report of computer activity.

Unfortunately, this will just no work with our scenario. If I'm remoting into a computer, randomly, to perform somekind of upgrade, and happen upon a user surfering porn, I needed a way to record their actions in real time.

Since the best these softwares could offer was screen prints, why bother -- I can do screen prints...LOL

If you have a bottomless budget, their are server/client based set ups to monitor pc activity, but I feel for you if you are tasked with the responsibility of being the Internet Policemen for your company.
