Thats cool qUoTuM thanks! And sorry fellas I have been swamped and running into issues with other stuff so I haven't been able to make much progress with skeep.

Tom Alright yeah I found the option in the policy stuff on the domain controller. And well see i actually didn't run teh script manually... with some help i just put it on a GP. I had remote access to my computer then through skeep went into the domain controller, set the policy then logged out and logged into my account. Then i showed up and i had someone else log off and in and they didnt. I may try that new script but also i think i will try that command you mentioned for the firewall. In any case thanks

FB/Tom Thanks a lot so far fellas, in regards to FB,with some help I got the global policy set for the two log in/log off scripts, and now the username when I'm logged in on my computer shows up but no one else... also the IP doesn't show up in its respective column, any thoughts on whats wrong there? Now Tom I did what you said (thanks for the great precise instructions) and I am about to move on to the firewall modification and testing, but i couldn't help but wonder if there is a way to set the firewall thing to group policy aswell or a way to do that in bulk for all machines? Thanks again guys. Tehnewb

FB/Tom, All I have done thus far is install skeep on my computer. It scanned for the servers automatically I s'pose because I never had it do that, they just showed up in the Servers (RDP) box. Yes, that is the next thing I'm trying to get to work now, I have not placed those scripts or anything because I have never set up a group policy before.. besides that I just don't know what im supposed to do with it, like the deploy VNC command and stuff like that. I'm sorry I am not being very helpful to my own cause, this must be aggravating to you and i thank you for your patience with me. Tehnewby1

Tom, Well like I formerly said I haven't been here for long, I'm still getting the "lay of the land" so to speak and am trying to sort out exactly how their servers, software, etc. are all ran and kept up to date/backed up. I need a go to program for network administration and it seems like Skeep could be that program. I would like to be able to access my employees desktops/files and other stuff with ease and without notification if the situation deems it necessary. My main problem is lack of general experience and limited knowledge of the protocols, programs, and processes that this entails (i.e. active directory). I'm not completely clueless and usually pick up on things pretty fast but its good to have some guidance so I know I'm learning the right stuff and I have a support line to call upon in the case of me being completely lost like right now aha. tehnewby1

FB, I have read quite a bit of it actually lol... the only problem being i am at a near complete loss on most of it due to the fact i have such little experience. All I know is basic stuff, and that i like the promise this software shows. tehnewby1

Hello guys, I am pretty new to IT (was on my last bit of 3 years of schooling before this job) and I just got hired on at a company not 2 weeks ago, well I had an issue with needing to access an employees machine without them knowing on my first full day there and had no way to do it. After some web searching i have found skeep, it seems sweet but i need some help setting it up and getting all the stuff like ip/username searching established. I have never really used vnc and this is my first IT job out of school so im about as green as a pea. Its a windows 7 domain and they have a pre-existing active directory set up, so far skeep has been nice for being able to access the servers this place has. If anyone would be willing to help me out with this and maybe future issues i would be glad to accept the graciousness xD Sincerely, tehnewby1
