audit account logon events
This is a video about auditing account logon events. It records successful and failed account log on events to a Microsoft Windows server 2008 domain. In an Active Directory environment, these events will be recorded to the domain controllers event viewer and must be viewed there. This feature is available on Server 2008, 2003, and 2000. You may also enact these policies on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or 7, if they are a member of the domain. If they are not members of a domain, you may record them locally, but remember they must be viewed locally.

Remote Assistance
This is a video on how to use remote assistance. It’s a program built into windows. Unlike remote desktop, it allows the person you are helping to see the screen at the same time. remote desktop will lock out local users. XP was the first version of windows to have remote assistance. Every version since has had a copy of remote assistance. It will incorporate with Microsoft email programs to make it easier or you can save it as a file and then use your own email program to send the file. & also has a feature called Easy Connect, but that doesn’t always work.
