2003 SBS user desktop monitor

[Radius]

We have windows 2003 small business server with about 15 users dialing in to the server from other branches. I would like to know if there is an indicator that will be on all the time, showing me on the desktop who has dialed in. 5 users can dial in at a time through 5 seperate modems. Having a utility like this would help make monitoring at a glance so much easier.

There are lots of them out there.....but finding the right one for you would have to be your decision, here are few links:

My pick would be "Hyena", in fact I think it give the Admin too much power over the user's computer......You can do what ever you want with user's computer (scary, ehh) , mind you, you need to put a small policy in place on the domain server for the computer which runs the software to have "FULL" access to target system.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
