Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program code which monitors a group of networked computers by notifying a central apparatus or database of the current state of each of the computers. The monitoring is achieved through software and hardware which obtains the state of each of the networked computers, determines if a new computer has been connected to the network, sets a state for each new computer and determines if any one of the networked computers has not notified the database of its current state within a prescribed interval of time. The hardware and software also determines if any one of the networked computers is in an inactive state, if any one of the networked computers has changed its state to inactive and updates the database to reflect the current state of each of the networked computers. A list of users is notified of the state of each computer, along with the reason for any change in state of each computer. Network intelligence and outside database resources are used to provide information concerning the reason for any change in state of each of the computers.
