RE: User Activity Monitoring

["Chad Thomsen" <chad.thomsen () bramespecialty com>]

I am sure something exists, but I have no idea what it is.  

If I were you I would make all of you users regular users instead of letting
them have administrative rights.  I would then use regmon (Google for it and
you should find it), which is a free tool, to find the registry keys that
this software, that requires admin privileges, accesses.  Then use regedit
and modify the security on those individual keys.  This works like a charm
because I have used it many times as I am not a fan of letting regular users
have administrative privileges on their local machines.  

Thanks,

Hullo,

I'm a new security officer of a small company with some mobile users, I'd
like to know programs out there there could restrict users from copying
files to another computer or monitoring users activities off the the network
/ at home that doesn't have a key logger because we can't set restriction
for users since the need administrative rights to run certain program and we
don't want them to think with this program we are monitoring what they
doing.

Thanks in advance

Regards

Ed
