[solved] OT: Automatic screenshot tool for monitoring

matze77 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello!

Perhaps someone knows an automatic screenshot tool to monitor a Windows Server System 2003/2008
Perhaps in Combo with a keylogger ...
I need to do the "docu" for a install process (Domain and Application Migration) with an external Supporter, since there is not enough time to do docu "on the fly" we want to log and take screenshots and do the docu later ...
Would be fine if the tool could be started automatically with windows ...
update:
It could be a "screencasting" freeware tool too that you would suggest as useful it must not be "written in perl" e.g. ...

Thanks in Advance!
MH

----
Update:
After some testing i will use autoscreen from sourceforge
Thanks

Would be fine if the tool could be started automatically with windows ... Even better if it came as a small, polymorphic executable that hid itself from the task manager ...

The purpose is not to be "hidden" the key for further use (since external application supporters are often connected via teamviewer e.g., but cant be "supervised" all the time) if an "error" occures e.g. after install of application "x" there is at least the possibility to get a hint what was changed last, when you ask people there is always "I didnt do anything" ;-) ... I dont want "a viral keylogger" ;-) its no problem when there is a "taskbar icon" or something it just has to do the job ... Thanks MH	[reply]

matze77, I use a company/web-site called 'https://'.'join.me' to demo and discuss our software updates with clients. I have no affiliation with the company other than being a happy customer. I have used them for about 18 months and it works. Recently they added a feature to retain the entire session as a automated script for later play-back and can be distributed. I haven't tried this so I guessing that it will help you. Maybe you could use this process until you find something else. When I signed up, you could try it for 30 days without a credit card.
