Landesk is tracking you - TGIG

Posted: Oct 09, 2014

Landesk is a tracking you. This is what the software does. LANDESK extended device discovery is passive technology that detects network-connected devices in real-time, even if they’re behind a firewall. LANDESK also uses active discovery technologies including SNMP management, ping sweeps, and more. It allows tracking of devices in their network (your computer).

I had my TSM order me a company computer and I will use it on theirs, not mine. Now if I have a router and my computer is plugged running or not, to it while the other one is still plugged in, can that gain access to my computer as well?

No. - sm

I would like to know that as well...anyone out there know the answer? I wasn't worried because I am using one of their computers, but I also have my personal one hooked up through a router.

Maybe this helps some questions - MTFedUp

The point is that we are being required to install a program on our PERSONAL computers that takes up disk space, with a vaguely stated purpose. The OP is pertinent to University owned equipment, NOT PERSONALLY owned computers. Bottom line, it is NOT getting installed on MY computer. I have requested a MModal computer.

It's not paranoia when they really are out to get you ;) - nm

mouse clicks and cursor movement, they would be able to tell just how much typing we have to do to fix this mess. But, then, again, I doubt they care, especially as they are getting the work done for 40% off. ...

On someone else's recommendation, our boss is looking into "amount-of-time-in-a-document" as a method of tracking productivity. Anyone else have experience with this? Are (and if so, how are) variables (i.e., pauses, difficult dictator, etc.) factored in? Any input most welcome. ...

This is not a negative complaint, it is a valid question. I work for ImedX in Chartscript. I have noticed when I run my line count I see a total for Transcribed and a line count for Edited, but when I look in details there are MULTIPLE JOBS that do not have a work type. Does this mean these lines are not being included in my totals? This is a potential huge problem of underpayment, yet when I inquired to management on several occasions, I got no response whatsoever. They did not even acknowledge ...

Whatever my count is, too bad. With the sorry excuse for ASR that we given to edit, let the chips lay where they might. Whatever my line count is, I am doing the best I can - as confirmed by the fact I have next to no nonproductive time showing on my statistics. ...

The email I got said something about it being company policy to allow them maintain my computer but I've never seen that. I don't want them being able to access my computer whenever they want and install/remove stuff. I used to have one computer just for work but it died so I've been having to use my personal one until I can save up enough (on these meager wages) to buy a new one. I just wondered if anybody refused to install it and if so, how well that went over. ...

Did anyone besides myself have an issue with the ihnstallation? I was able to get into Inner Circle without a problem; however, the screen shot sent looks nothing like what I was looking at after logging in. All I had was a long list and upon clicking on any of them, not one thing happened. Hovering over Resources did not do a thing, clicking on any of the tabs did not do a thing. What a pain. Why tell us to contact supervisor if any issues; they're not techs, they don't know wha ...

Anyone download that LANDesk that they want installed? I installed it, but when I double click the icon a message pops up saying something about application control and it will not open. How stupid is that? Any ideas or help or should I forget about it, which is my preference. ...

I'm not sure, but it seems to me that this whole issue came around about a year ago, telling us we must install it, and upon looking into it, it was my impression that it would allow MM to track everywhere we go on our computers, so I didn't install it. I asked for a company computer, and the matter was eventually dropped until now. I don't know what to do. ...

Something like "Audits and controls are being put in place to track changes and identify anomalies in normal production hour history." They mentioned Webclock and the importance to have correct hours. Any of you acute care know what they are talking about. Do I remember someone saying something about downloading a program to track your time at the keyboard, etc, or was that on another forum? ...
