Moinitoing individual Shared Files in Corporate Network

[ricolame]

Hi guys,

Not sure if it is the appropriate site, but dealing with IT and monitoring ethics.. so here it is..


Have anyone monitored the shared folders of the terminals in your corporate network ?

Recent complaints of games, 'illegal' files being shared by individulas have put us another challenge.

Are anyone aware of any such software that can scan all terminals in a corporate network on shared folders, and allowing admin staff to periodically scan for files with speicific keywords?

Looking forward to any likely tips, advises . Thanks!

LANDesk has those capabilities. That's what we use. I'm not in the networking side so I don't use it for those purposes, but I know it does.

I personally go through about once every 4-6 mos and clean up any personal or non-work related files.

I do back them up to a DVD incase there were photos of someone's wedding or something.

We also include the use of company shares in our Computer use Policy by stating that the folders are for company use only and that any personal files will be removed.
