Computer Management in NFM

Adding a Computer to be Monitored
To add a computer to the monitoring list click "Add Computer", then "Add Computer Wizard". Adding a computer is a four step process that the wizard will walk you through. First, you will need to specify a computer. You can use the browse button (...) to view network computers and select them - or you can manually enter them if you know their IP or computer name. Second, specify an administrator login for that computer. Third, specify the shares you want to have NFM monitor. By clicking "AutoDetect" NFM will try to find the main administrative (shared drives) shares that will allow you to monitor all activity on the computer. You can also specify standard file shares (such as a shared Documents folder). Lastly, specify what file events you want logged. Click "Next" to add the computer to the monitoring list.

Removing a Computer
To remove a computer from NFM select it and click on "Remove Computer". You will be asked to confirm the action.

Editing a Computer
To edit a computer in NFM select it and click on "Edit Computer" (or right click on the computer entry). Then choose what you want to edit - drives/shares, login settings, or logging settings.

Network Enumeration
On larger networks manually selecting a computer and adding it can be a tedious process. To help this you can use the Enumerate Network feature in the "Add Computer" menu. This will list all computers on your network. Once computers are listed in the enumeration results, you can click on a computer to select/deselect it. Once you have the computers you would like to add selected click on "Add". You will be walked through the "Add Computer Wizard" for each computer.
