Time Clock Security on Server

Post by B.Thomas » Fri Feb 25, 2011 12:21 pm

One problem I have had in the past is when an ex-employee figured out when she changed the time on the server she could add hours to her time clock. When I used XP on the server I used a program called Clock Guard that prevented the problem. I recently switched the server to Windows 7 and the Clock Guard program doesn't work.

Does Open Dental still need to be run as an Administrator on Windows 7?

What are my choices to still use the Server as an office computer?

I know I can buy another computer to leave the Server as a dedicated server but I wanted to check if there were any other options first.

I don't let me employees log on to any of the office computers with Admin privileges. So no one can change the time.

Open Dental should only need to be run as admin the very first time. After that, it should not be necessary.

The only problem I have is that Built-In Backup tool gets hung up and will not backup unless the user is in Administrator mode. Is this something to do with MySQL needing Administrator rights to backup?
