    Installation Introduction [Click here for Main Help Topics]

In order to track computers on the network for Pen/Thumb Drive activity, the user will be required to install the Client Component of USB CopyNotify! on those respective computers.

The computer on which the user will sit & actually do the monitoring will require the Server Component of USB CopyNotify! to be installed.

It is also essential that while installing the CLIENT Component, the IP address of machine or Machine Name where the Server Component is installed is specified correctly.

Security Tip : If the users have all administrative privileges on their computers then attempts can be made by the user to kill or switch off the client component thus rendering the monitoring of USB activity in-effective. The above settings such as IP of the server, Blocking of the Port as well as the running of the files can be changed if the user has administrative access.
