Non Casper Question- Remote Access

Casper and ARD are complimentary here, we use ARD for remote access,
troubleshooting, monitoring, etc. and to logging to some extent, although
I really envision Casper taking more the role of logging who access what
machines and at what time should I need to go back and find that data.

Anyway, ARD can tell you who logged in, and at what time if you know a
little UNIX (send a UNIX command last as root). If you have an ARD Task
Server on your network, you can spread that data collection out over
longer period of time than with just a single intermittent ARD connection
(ie. to collect data from your client machines and store it for a longer
period of time).

Then obviously, logs within Casper should tell you who accessed a machine
and at what time.

With ARD you can generate a user report that will show what computer a specific user logged into and when. The User History option in the Report menu in ARD is where you'd go for this, however you can also use the Casper logs to see when a user logged into which computer.

We use the Casper Remote Connection for that reason. It logs connections and also is just nice to have one tool to do everything. We have a few copies of ARD around yet, but I don't plan on purchasing more. If it is a leopard computer, you have the screen sharing app as a possibility if the problem is with Casper Remote connecting.

Thanks,
John
