I am using Windows Server 2008 with Windows XP workstations. Occasionally I flick though the workstations at random and see what people are doing. Sometimes, albeit rarely, I see them doing something that's against the terms of use for the network (as defined by management).

Ideally, I would like to be able to send the user a message that pops up explaining that they shouldn't be doing that and I would be grateful if they stopped.

Additionally I would like to be able to disable their keyboard and mouse when supporting the users via VNC to prevent them from hijacking what I'm doing.

I use a Mac mostly when supporting users so if there is any software that would work on a Mac it would be great. If not, can any Windows applications do this?

Thanks,

Danny

Log me in is a great application for this you can lock they're keyboard, blank the screen and take control and send a message as necessary. It also works with a Mac The free version does all of this, the pro version has even more functionality www.logmein.com Chris

This is somewhat tangential, but perhaps there are better ways to detect behavior that violates policy (analysis of Snort/Web proxy logs, etc), or at least ways that reduce the amount of manual supervision you perform?
