Open-AudIT

So, I have everything working what appears to be just fine. I do not understand the auditing process, though. Do I have to work with the PC_List text file to add the systems to audit? I put hfnetchk.exe and the patch file in the scripts folder, put all the pstools exe's in the root web folder (does that mean the root folder of the web server or the open audit directory?), and nmap/winpcap are on my machine.

Now, how does this process actually work? Also, my workstations are Power users, will that cause a problem? I really don't want to make them administrators...

Any help will be appreciated, I'm new to Open-AudIT.

Thanks.

The pstools are not needed, as the audit does not use them. I would suggest moving the scripts out of the website so that no one can access them (especially if you are storing usernames/passwords for machines that might be off the domain. From that point, just configure audit.config to your needs (I'm sure there's some hints on the forum here). Run the audit by typing "cscript audit.vbs" on the command line in the directory in which the scripts are stored.

I got the the command to work, and it does display the "Info" in the command prompt. It took about 30 seconds. It hung on hfnet, so I changed the value to "n" and now it zips through.

Here's a good question, how do I get this information up on the website now that I scanned. Also, Do I have to do this to every machine on the network if I want it to show up in Open-AudIT?

If you are on a domain, set strComputer to "" and then change audit_local_domain to "y". Then enter your domain name in local_domain. This will cause the audit to find every machine on the domain. Also, make sure these lines point to the correct URLs:
ie_form_page = "http://localhost/openaudit/admin_pc_add_1.php"
non_ie_page = "http://localhost/openaudit/admin_pc_add_2.php"

That should do it!

mikeyrb says " If you are on a domain "



does that mean the domain of the web server or domain of computer?

my computer is not member of a domain, but member of a workgroup, can i audit the computer in my workgroup ?

Thanks mikeyrb. How does one log in as a domain admin?

There is a domain, but I don't know how to control it and the administrator is out today. I'm the new Intern

You'll need passwords so you will have to speak to your domain administrator and tell him what you are trying to do.

i'm try to audit other pc with input computer name, username, password

Username and password provided - therefore assuming NOT a local domain PC.
C:\my webs\oa\scripts\audit.vbs(116, SWbemLocator: Access is denied.

how about that ?
