CPTRAX for Windows Auditor Mode
Unique to CPTRAX for Windows is its Auditor License that enables your staff members responsible for auditing to directly receive log files on their desktop. When using an Auditor License, CPTRAX will only receive log files from other servers, it will not generate its own. The Auditor License makes it quick and easy for your auditor personnel to generate the reports they need on demand with no overhead by your technical staff or on your servers.
CPTRAX Administrator Interface
The CPTRAX Administrator interface is a Windows 32bit application. Its interface was designed and built using our DSRAZOR product. Usage of this interface requires appropriate Windows security permissions to the Registry and Control Panel of servers where installed.
The CPTRAX for Windows Administrator interface includes the ability to automate the delivery and loading of its Server Agent. The interface can also automate the unloading of the Server Agent with optional removal of all Registry modifications and activity log files.
CPTRAX Data Collection and Reporting
CPTRAX for Windows collects Logon, Logoff and File System activity that has been defined by you or your administrators. Each definition is stored in a "Profile" in the Registry of each installed server. Data collected by CPTRAX is stored in Activity Log Files at each server.
