Configure Computers
By default, the Client is configured to begin recording as stealthily as possible when Windows starts on the computer. As a rule, you won't need to change these advanced settings, but if the need arises, you can reconfigure settings from Security panel of the Deployment Utility or from Client Settings.
Note: Do not change these settings unless you are sure you know the effect on Clients and your system.
To change advanced Client security options:
The Advanced box appears when you click Advanced on the Security settings panel and confirm that you wish to take the risk of modifying these settings.
Advanced Security Settings
Allow Limited Users UI Access - By default this option is cleared; only an Administrator-level login for the computer has access to the Client Viewer. Check this option to allow other users with "Limited Access" to access the Client using Group Policy rules.
Enable Automatic Error Transmissions - By default this option is cleared; no errors or program exceptions are uploaded to the SpectorSoft Server (Control Center computer). You have to click on the Help > About > Support button to manually transfer the exceptions. Check this option to automatically upload program problems (exceptions).
Enable Spector when Window Starts - Starts Client at computer start up. If this option is disabled, the Client will not automatically begin recording when the computer starts, but you can enable recording from the Configure Computers view of the Control Center.
Enable Browser Extensions - Default is OFF. Check this option as an alternative method for recording visits to web URLs. This option is available as a fallback in special circumstances when normal Web Sites Visited recording does not work.
Capture Layered Windows - Default is OFF. Check this option to capture each window when windows are layered.
Capture Console Applications - Default is OFF. Check this option to capture keystrokes entered in applications that run in a command line, or console, window (e.g., DOS).
Enable Logon Warning - Default is OFF. This option displays a monitoring warning message each time someone restarts Windows or a new user logs on to the computer. By default the warning message is not displayed. The warning message should inform the user that their computer activity is being monitored. SpectorSoft recommends that all companies have a computer use policy in place that makes employees and other computer users aware that their computer use is subject to monitoring.
Set
Warning Text - Click this button to
change the text of the warning message that appears if you have checked
"Enable Logon Warning." The default message is a standard warning
used by many government agencies. Select
the text and type over it to make changes. Click
OK to set your changes.
Enable Log File - Default is ON. Check this option (default) to maintain a log of Client activities. This "self-auditing" log is generally used to troubleshoot a particular Client; if you contact Technical Support, you may be asked to send the Client log file.
Log File Detail Level - Default is zero (0) to minimize the size of the log file. You may need to raise the log file level to capture more information about the Client for troubleshooting purposes. Click the up arrow to increase the log file level of detail (more logging). Click the down arrow to decrease the level of detail (less logging).
Configure
Logfile - Click this button to increase logging for a specific
activity type. Check activity or activities you want more detail on and
click OK. The increase in log
file detail will apply to these activity types.
Network Initialization Delay - Default is 0. Use this option if you are experiencing errors capturing network-type events (chat/IM, web sites, network activity, etc.). By increasing the delay of the initialization of the tools that capture network information, you can avoid conflicts with anti-virus and other software programs. Add a delay ranging from 1–60 seconds. In most cases, a delay of 1–3 seconds is sufficient to resolve the problem.
To set service monitoring credentials:
This option allows the Client to properly capture AOL Connectivity Service Chat (ACSD) and/or Norton RTVScan if a non-administrator user (not the primary user) logs on to the monitored computer first.
Admin Username - The username must be in the monitored computer's Administrator group.
Admin Password - The password for the Administrator level account.
