Abstract

The success of an institution depends on its ability to acquire accurate and timely data about its operations, to manage and use this data effectively. Computer laboratory record management plays a vital role in the organization and maintenance of computers in an institution. In existing system of Mehran University of Engineering and Technology, Jamshoro lab assistants are responsible to view the current status and configuration of individual computers in LAN based computer labs. The other and very important problem which lab assistants face is that they don’t know automatically which hardware and software changes are being done on any system. In this paper a Computer Laboratory Record Management System (CLRMS) is proposed to avoid such kind of problems. CLRMS is a network based Software which automatically keeps all the information of system including hardware and software. This software secures the records of system configuration for future information reporting, user management and security management. It also updates system database if any hardware is removed or any software changes occur via automatically retrieval method. CLRMS interfaces are easily understandable hence user friendly. It generates reports for both software and hardware. It shows complete structured configuration of a computer. It will keep records that which type of user was log on the system and what tasks he has performed like installation information of software, updates of software, version and vendor information.
