If you connect to the OA server from a remote PC, you can chose the option Audit My Machine from the Admin menu.
This will send a preconfigured audit.vbs to the workstation. You can save this to a local path, and then run it, wherupon it will create a local audit.config in the same folder you saved the vbs script and audit the machine. You can then run the audit.vbs any time you like on that machine and it will send its results to the server, no need to download it from the server again.
That's pretty much it, you can of course set up audit.vbs in the startup program group, (if the VPN is up before the user logs on) or place it somewhere and set up a scheduled task to run it at a specific time, but I will leave that up to you.
If you want to audit a domain, for which these remote machines are members, then so long as they are attachec to your VPN and routable, you can use the domain audit function. For more ino. on domain audits, see the FAQs.
