Monitor usage of classroom PCs

[Johan]

Good afternoon,

 

Whilst having what seems like a huge number of ICT suites, I've been told there still isn't enough. However, I can't help but notice the number of times I pass a suite in the middle of a period, and find it empty.

 

I would love to be able to easily collate the % of time or number of hours a day the PCs within our school are logged in with a user account, rather than left at the ctrl-alt-del screen. I realise I could log login and logout events in AD, but that would take some serious collating!

 

Does anybody know of a nice solution to do this automatically? Arguing to make better use of what we have seems far more practical than adding more and more expensive kit.

 

Kind regards,

John.

Another way would be find out how many PCs are logged into the domain, which I could do each period over a timetable rotation.

i would implement Webmans Logintracker then create some custom php scripts to do the maths on a per classroom basis.
