If you are remotely connecting from computer A to computer B, is there any way for someone who is at computer B to see what happened in the remote connection session to computer A after it is over?

uh, no. If you want to watch someone as they USE your computer remotely, you should be using Remote Assistance instead of remote desktop.

on win2000 you can do this with netmeeting so the "computer B" person can see what's going on in real time. YHou just have to change a setting (don't remember which one)

You looking for a video type thing or just a log of activities that occurred?

just a log of activities that occured or some way of seeing what the person on computer A did on computer B. I think I messed up with my description...

connecting from A to B (A is the computer that you are actually on), is there anyway for someone from computer A to see what was done on computer B while it was connected to from computer A, if that makes any difference at all...

not really... well, there probably is, but microsoft didn't implement any easy way to do so

what do you do with that?

Google "Windows Auditing" and turn it on.

You can audit/record access to every object in the system if you wish to. Fair warning, the logs will fill up FAST and most likely slow the computer down if you go overkill. If you go a simpler route (again, Google it), you shouldn't have as many problems.

well I did not want to do anything, I just was wondering because I was remote connecting from work to home so if they would somehow be able to see that I am not doing work on my computer at home then I might not want to remote connect to it anymore...

Um, wtf did you just say?

If I'm interpreting this correctly ... when you login remotely, your "local" computer screen will say "This computer is locked and in use. Only ... can unlock it." If somebody "local" tries to unlock it, and you are logged on remotely, it will say "blah is logged on, if you log on locally, it will kick blah off, is this OK?". When you are finished with your remote session, log out of the account. If somebody tries to login then, no problems.

He just wants to know if the people at work can record/see/monitor what he's doing while logged into his home computer using Remote Desktop Connection from Work.

If you are connecting from work, your employer will not easily be able to tell what you have or haven't been doing on your home computer via Remote Desktop because of the encryption that comes with Remote Desktop. I'd be a lot more worried about somebody walking by my desk if I'm connected to my home computer ... this is why you don't go to Chit Chat while at work.

It also really depends on the workplace policy for whether they can monitor internet connections and what actions they can take if they suspect something. If you have a weak security configuration on your remote desktop setting, and they have authorization to break that encryption ... well, again, boils down to the workplace policy. WILL they ever do such a thing? Probably not.

Typically most companies that do any sort of employee monitoring will see if you were logged in or not. This includes but not limited to:

When logged in and out
Time Idle
Programs accessed

MOST of the time... it's just whether you were logged in or not and how long you were logged in. The worst being idle time. However if you work any job that requires security clearance of some type... chances are you are being logged and randomly monitored.
