Guest Neil Jones Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Hi, I would like to know how to remotely administer and monitor activity on a Vista Ultimate system. My daughter and I have Vista Ultimate boxes. She lives with her mother in the midwest while I am on the east coast. She does go to myspace web site to chat with her classmates in school. However, I am getting more and more concerned (especially after the Florida teens attack their classmate). I would like to monitor her online activities. I know Windows has Remote Desktop on XP version. Is there something like that for Vista? How do I configure Remote Desktop to limit connections only to each others box? How do log her online activity? Is there anyway I can download (via Remote Desktop) those logs to my system to analyze? Any help you can give is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. NJ Quote
Guest Leone Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 You can use www.logmein.com to monitor or remote control the computer. They have a free and pay for service. I use the free one. You set up a free account and then download the software onto her computer and you can monitor it from any computer thru a web browser. Your daughter will know that you are monitoring and she can shut it off if she wants to. You didn't say if this monitoring setup was to be done covertly or openly "Neil Jones" <castellan2004-atnews@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:o92dnQvfvZE705zVnZ2dnUVZ_ualnZ2d@comcast.com...<span style="color:blue"> > Hi, > > I would like to know how to remotely administer and monitor activity on > a Vista Ultimate system.

Guest Neil Jones Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 Thank you for replying. I will check this software out. This is an openly monitoring her computer for online activity. She gets iTunes music but lately her classmates hang out on myspace. That is where the concern is now.
