Once Again, Laziness To The Rescue!
Sometimes, I even astound myself with how lazy I can be. Combine that with a really bad sense of logic and you get a pretty cool network management script.
I didn’t want to be bothered with having to talk users through finding their IP address so that I could remote control their computer. So, I wrote a script and a front end GUI that would track users, computers, and their IP addresses. Now, when I want to remote control a user’s computer, I simply need to run my new program, select a couple of options and I magically have everything I need to take over their computer.
I go through the entire process in more detail in Tracking Users, IP’s, and Computers. In the article, not only do I explain how the program works, I also give you all the configuration files, source code, and compiled programs so that you can put this program to work on your network.
