Well, the basic concept you are looking at is "end user experience monitoring", as opposed to "component monitoring" (e.g. a server or hard disk) or "service monitoring" (e.g. is a website up)
There's plenty of third party products out there that can simulate client actions - usually via an agent installed on the remote machine. Or you do a "poor man's" job and do this yourself with a bit of scripting. I assumed you wanted the latter since you didn't mention any existing tools you have or any budget.

Write a little script (e.g. using VBScript and ServerXMLHTTP object) that makes the same HTTP request? You can then log the details to a log file to later analyse.

I've been tasked with determining a way to document if a web page in IE errors out. Basically, the page will refresh every 10 seconds with updated data. I need to find a way to see if the page comes back with a page error or not. Any ideas out there? These tests will be performed at kiosks that have no management that have poor internet connectivity. All I can currently measure is system up time, not internet connectivity uptime or page errors in IE. TIA Jimmy
