Hello everybody.
I dont know if this is the best place to ask, and the moderator is asked to put this wherever he think it belongs.
Im going to make a system which logs the use of the public computers at my university. I want statistics over when each computer is used, and for how long.
The computerlab admin wants access to a (i.e basic html) webpage where he can read statistics about:
-which machines are being used,
-historically how much are the machines used
-how much each computerlab is used (which computerlab who has the most visitors).
This information is used to find out:
-when can we do maintenance on the PCs (in what time during the day are there least visitors)
-do we need more/less computerlabs in certain areas at campus
-are there any computers that is not being used at all and can be
removed
Ive figured out that one way to to it is to make a program which is automatically run at startup as a service/process, and sends information to an external server.
But the best way to do this would be implementing some script/log at the the server which receives a promt for user confirmation. We use AD to logon (and SMS to distribute programs), and to log on to a public PC you have to log on to a domian where your userdata is stored, say
Ive never done anything like this before, so im a total newb at this.
But if anyone is willing to point me in the right direction, i would be truly grateful.
