Short of getting on the machine and enabling remote management, and a
password protection schema.  I am not sure...

you might try protecting the resource from his username and if the password
is being utilized, you know it is intentional.

Subject: Remotely manage Zone Alarm




We have a user that works remotely.  Since he works outside our 

firewall he has Zone Alarm Pro on his machine.

 

This week he is in the office.  Our logs show he is trying to access 

things he shouldn't be and doing things he shouldn't be.  For internal 

political reasons HR wants some more proof that it's not accidental.  I 

can't access his c$ share to look at Zone Alarm logs or remotely access 

his event logs because of the Zone Alarm

 

Is there a way to centrally manage Zone Alarm settings or is this user 

completely shielded while inside our network?

 

Cesar
