The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Printing Log

Asked by dbfromnewjersey in Windows NT Networking, Windows XP Operating System, Windows Network Security

Hi. Here is the problem: In a retail environment, employees have access to a single Windows XP Professional computer for use in printing certain documents. Via the computer, they sign on to a online mainframe system (COBOL and CICS), enter in some search information, run a query which returns the desired information back to the screen, and they print that information to a network printer next to the computer. At this point, the programming department administering the mainframe system does not want to modify any of the back end stuff (the COBOL, JCL, CICS programs). I'm looking for a way to be able to log and see what documents employees printed. This is because, while they physically can print anything they look up via the mainframe system, they have been told they are only allowed to print certain documents. We want to make sure they're not printing things they're not supposed to. I researched a bit on Windows XP's audting feature (unless someone has some other suggestion). I was able to set up the auditing feature by following the steps at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310399 but I don't know quite how to use it. What I'm looking to be able to do is see what documents were printed or were attempted to print.  I'm not able to find where those are. I don't need all of the other entries that appear in the security log. Just looking for what was printed. I don't know how to identify which of the entries pertain to printed items and which don't. Any help or suggestions are appreaciated.
