Hi Chris,

Yes that is pretty much exactly what we need to do.  We have
an app that shows the status of jobs that take very long to
complete.  We want people to be able to see the status of jobs 
but do not want them to be able to terminate them (or do anything
else for that matter)

This seems to be an easy solution.  Can you think of any others?

Thanks for your feedback.

Cathy


Just out of curiousity, what makes this software particularly interesting
for you? 

Do you want to lock the servers with the event log or task manager 
showing,
and let people who are not allowed to 'touch' the servers monitor the logs
and load, or what?

We have been testing the Transparent Screen Lock 

http://www.e-motional.com/TScreenLock.htm

It basically allows you to prevent access to a Windows server
but allows the display to be visible.Before going ahead with 
a large scale installation I was wonderingif any of you guys 
have had any experience with it (Both good orbad) that may 
affect our decision.
