Hi

I need to install a Windows2003 webedition server and need to log whatever
the admin account or any other account is doing/typing - everything. Im not
sure if windows allows this out of the box? or could I install some program
that captures all actions?

regards
jan agermose

That would only be possible with a program that records all keystrokes. The
security logs can also provide a lot of information but not to the extent
you want. I can not recommend one but if you do a Google search for keyboard
logger you will find plenty to choose from. --- Steve

such a program.

Keyboard logger does not even fill the bill
Consider mouse clicks
Perhaps a video recorder + keylogger with the admin
required to go in through a (watched/video recorded)
terminal services login session.

Good point. If a video camera is used make sure you search him for shaving
cream. --- Steve
