Windows

My users keep unplugging our meeting rooms computers network connection.

As i can't check the computers every time a meeting ends, i'd like to find a tool, preferably running on windows, that can monitor some cisco switch ports state, and every time a cable is being unplugged, send me an email.

I know that some monitoring solutions can do that already, but i wonder if something simplier (and preferably cheap / free of course !) exists.

So, it seems there are basically two options here (short of throwing out GUIDs as PKs altogether, which we cannot do (at… >>> More
