Remote Control

External Since: Oct 22, 2003 Posts: 110

Hello,
I was wondering if there was a way to set up a single computer on a network as an admin computer; where I am able to control other computers, but mainly view the desktops of each computer on the network without it being known that I am doing so. The reason for this is I am the computer admin at the (small) company I work at and was told to make sure no employees were playing games, using the internet maliciously, etc. I have been able to control and view another computer using the remote assistance, but on the client computer it is obvious that it is being viewed. Thanks for any help.

you might want to look at some of the VNC based products. we use win_vnc,
tight_vnc and ultravnc although we dont do any *real* big brother stuff.
the only problem we have run into with monitoring is that the users
eventually figure it out. when we connect via vnc (which is java based, so
you dont have to run a local admin client) thier machine slows down
considerably.

but google winvnc and check out some of the products available as well as
thier options
