[dba-Tech] Task Manager

VNC is one answer.  Set up a VNC server on his machine, then set up the VNC
client on yours.  You can "log on" to your child's machine and literally see
whatever he is seeing.  Thus you see the keystrokes as he types them, mouse
movements and clicks, programs opening and closing etc.  If the child is not
using the machine, you can "remote control" the machine to look at what
programs are open etc.

Whenever the machine is being remotely monitored an icon in the lower right
of the tool tray turns a different color.  That is the only indication,
unless you try to move the mouse or type on the keyboard.

I was looking for a quick and dirty way to monitor my kids' computer usage.
Just to know what programs he's running at the moment.

If you mean like right clicking on it and selecting "connect to other pc"
like you can do with computer manager, I don't think so. There are things
available to do it though, Dameware NT Utilities does it, or you can just
remote desktop it and do it like that.

Dear List:

 

Is there a way to run the task manager on Machine #2 from Machine #1?
