Hey Gang,
I am moving into a 4 person apartment in the fall and I will be the tech guy for 4 computers. The problem is that my roomates are pretty computer illiterate, and need constant supervision. Im tired of getting up from my desk to watch what they are doing. Where would you guys recommend looking for network administration. Im using Win XP pro, and have win 2k pro available. I would like to be able to do things which include.
Schedule virus scans of their computers.
Monitor network usage of individual computers.
Possibly install, and exicute commands on their PC's (ive taken a look at remote assistance )
Any other network tasks that you guys see fit.
I know this sounds like an invasion of privacy to some degree, but its really in the best interest of all of us, so that one of my dufuss roomates doesnt tear apart all our computers by opening a nasty virus infected emails. Or hog all the bandwidth downloading movies....Please let me know what you guys think, and im looking for a free, or close to free option. Let me know links, etc. Thanks.
