We use a software deployment system at my school that offers the possibility to run scripts remotely. I agree that it isn't best practice to put login credentials in a script, and if anyone has a better solution I'd like to know. On the other hand, the Screenshot Administrator user isn't really an administrator account. Just a user specifically made for this task, that has write security permissions on the share folder where the screenshots are stored. Sander

Lately I've been looking for a way to monitor students when they're taking tests on a computer by automatically making screenshots every 30 (or so) seconds. After a little investigation into monitoring tools like iTALC and Impero I soon came to the conclusion that I would have to make something myself, as I was unable to find anything that resembled my need. I found a freeware utility called nirCmd and created a visual basic script around it. I'm no scripting expert and it probably could be improved a lot, but nevertheless I'd like to share it with the community. You can find it here on github. Sander
