Does IE have to be the rendering engine?

You provide some great keywords to do some searching on thanks!

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.

Cheers

I will look in to that. Any other ideas?

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.

Subject: [NTSysADM] test IE uptime?

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
