Client event logging

[Churchy112]

Good morning,

I'm hoping some of you kind people could help me get started on a simple client on a workstation which can report events and computer information back to a console on a server to display all the information.

I support primary schools which are always a mess when I take them on so this would be hugely helpful.

I'm still very new to AutoIT so if anyone could point me in the right direction or any examples they have would be great. I did have a quick look on the forum but the topics I found looked way more complex for my needs.

Thanks

There are UDFs (User Defined Function libraries) available on the forum or the wiki (Computer Information) or ready-to-run programs on the wiki (Computer Audit Tool) as well.

I don't get what are your needs exactly.
You want to do an onscreen console which shows what's happening in windows? And if so, what kind of events it should catch? (ie: file changes, updates, user logons)

 

Or you need something else? You have any examples?

​I'd like it to check for Critical and Warning events on event viewer as well as information like user logged on, connectivity time stamp, Architecture, PC Spec, OS, antivirus version etc and produce all this information to a onscreen console on the server.

Eventually it would be great if I could issue commands to the client such as Display Message, WOL, Shutdown, run MDT rebuild, remote installations, remote update etc but for now I figured stick with the basic reporting.

Water mentioned the Computer Audit Tool, this would also be my recommendation, as it does not have everything you desire, but you may be able to customize it to your own needs.

The computer info UDFs look very useful! Although I don't yet know how to manipulate the results into a CSV. 

I'll look at the Audit Tool next when I have a moment
