I work for a company and some of my job role is to deal with the internal network.

We have a user that is supected of doing very little work.

I need to know if there is some monitoring software that will aloww me to record/view his computer without his knowledge.

It also need to be installed silently.

Is this possiable.

There is no breach in his privacy as it is all company property and on company time.

That isn't really the geek answer i was looking for. Ethically i dont have a problem with it because if he was working hard enough there woud be no need.

The problem is that if we confront him then he will just deny it as we have no proof. He just seems to do enough work to get by.
 
I dont think its a question of is there enough work. There is a lot of work. We do not have targets per say, but we are expected to work quickly to resolve issues.

I am not his manager and am purly looking at this from a Can it be done point of view, rather than the "Do we need to do this/is it right" issue.

Unfortunatly i would have to agree that a Video camer or microphone is acceptable in the work place. Companies have a right and sometimes a need to see/know what there resources are doing and what there money is being spent on.

Its a little big brotherish i know but if you've nothing to hide then there really isn't a problem.

If it turns out he is doing work as best he can then i would be a little suprised but at least we would know. If he is not doing work then managment can deal with it in the correct way.

It may just be a case of knowledge and training.

Like you say he may have issues that need to be addressed but he has not said anything. The problem is just not knowing.

Again i am looking at this purly from a "can it be done" perspective.
