Be alerted when Someone Access My Machine ? 2

[netwalker1]

Dear All :

I have some suspicious - and I think that System administrators in my company are connecting to my PC ...

Is there anyway to be alerted when they connect to my shares : c$ or d$ ?

Thanks,,,

Your work PC? Are they not allowed to?

Is there anyway to monitor their activities in my PC ?

I think this is a question that should not be ASKED nor ANSWERED. Why?

Your company has every right to monitor their (your) computer for whatever they want to look at.

You have no real right to monitor whether they are or are not in fact doing so. I see no possible positive outcome if you start trying to detect the detectives. In fact, I see storm clouds on the horizon if they figure out that you are trying to monitor them.

If you're not up to anything, don't worry about it.
If you're up to something that you shouldn't be doing - stop it. It might already be too late for you if they are snooping.

Netwalker1 - Goom's advice is excellent. If you do want to see who's connected to your machine at a specific moment, right click on My Computer, left Click on Manage, left click on the Plus for Shared Folders, left click on Sessions. If someone else is connected, it should show up there. Since it is a work computer, it is by definition accessible to the organization that owns it. Keep in mind that there is probably an enterprise log of where everyone goes on the internet.

I guess we didn't really answer the question very well.

Let me rephrase the question :
If I am not in a company - and I am connecting to a shared WLAN connection with others - is there anyway to monitor if there is anyone is trying to connect to my PC ?

Away from the politics - or the company privilege restriction - I need a tool to help me on this ?

Hi,
You said:

So it appeared that you were in a company.


Have you set the permissions on those shares to limit connections from unknown users?

Oh, I think that's still the issue, but I'm afraid that in my opinion the OP is changing the emphasis in the hopes no one notices.

 

[goombawaho]

Yes, I read it clearly/exactly as Turkbear & strongm did, but who's to say and does it matter?!?

With all the spying software that can be used and other methods, I'm not sure you can be SURE that nobody is snooping on you in real time or in a "recorded" format.

 

[netwalker1]

No need to real time - is there a way to log this to see these information later ?

Would auditing work? Properties - security tab - advanced button - auditing tab. Just add users or groups and then tick whatever rights usage you want audited. Success/failures will show in event viewer security log. VNC and the like already show up in event viewer system log. I found some real time monitors with a Google search, but I have never tried any.
