Product Overview & Implementation
he Thin Client Agent (TCA) is a data collection agent for
desktop clients running Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows
ME, Windows NT and Windows 2000. The TCA monitors and
records a user’s printing activities, and writes this information to a
log file, which is stored locally. This log file is either uploaded to a
central location via HTTP where it can be analysed to produce a
complete picture of local and networked printing, or it can be kept
locally where it will remain indefinitely. When the log file is uploaded
to the central location the file stored locally will be removed. The
local log file name is COMPUTERNAME.log and the central log file
is called Printauditor.dca.

The Print-Auditor Wizard provides 4 methods of installation. Firstly,
there is the local installation to be used when manually installing the
TCA onto individual workstations. Secondly, the TCA Installer is
capable of installing onto Windows NT based clients without any
user interaction. Alternatively, a login script that can be appended to
existing login scripts enabling automatic installation of the TCA onto
any Windows client PC’s across a network. These scripts can vary
from site to site based on permissions and environment. In the
event of the site not using log-in scripts, an email distribution can be
used.
