RE: [ActiveDir] AD printer Auditing and logging

[Jason Yaremchuk]

Sorry, should have mentioned this I guess.   I work for a school district, we have many onsite tech support people that are just glorified teachers with minimal computer knowldge. They want to be able to see what student printed a 40 page job and stuff like that. The system log will not cut it in terms of user comprehension. I am trying to give them something where they can simply view all jobs, and the source user. I know it seems trivial but it what I have been asked to provide.   Jason   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Za Vue Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2006 11:50 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] AD printer Auditing and logging   Not sure what you are doing, but my System logs show who printed what file, how large, date, time, name of file printed, number of pages.

I have a large group of users and must keep track of what jobs are printed by whom. I couldn’t find any built-in options (I may have missed them) and I looked at a bunch of 3rd party software to monitor and log print jobs. I am using windows 2003 RC2 and was really surprised that of all the print management MS added there was no auditing. What is everyone else doing for print job auditing? Is third party the only way?   Thanks in advance, Jason
