Implementation

  • Place the IdleMon tool in the Utilities folder at LTShare/Transfer on the Automate Server/WebDav.
  • Import the script.
  • Import the dataview.
  • Schedule the script to run periodically against the relevant machines. It is recommended not to schedule the script against a large number of computers simultaneously, as it needs to be executed frequently for optimal output.
  • Ask the user to log off their computer or wait for them to log off after the first execution of the script. The script/tool cannot collect data/samples unless the logged-in user re-logs in after the installation of the tool.
