Re: Employee Monitoring in Terminal Service Environment

[Nicholas Schmidt <oneguynick () gmail com>]

If you are the administrator why are you monitoring at their desktop?
Thin clients are all going through a mail server, proxy server,
firewall. It seems to me that you can monitor everything via logging
already in place. Do you really want to be big brother that way? Why
don't you block webmail to external resources rather than peeking in on
it. This sounds very close to the line of wiretapping! Hope you made
them sign off on this when they hired,
