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.

If you found this post useful, why don't you buy me a cup of coffee to show your gratitude?
