Installing and configuring silent mode tracker with active directory or windows account based sign in

Vinod Paul

Last Update a year ago

If more than one employee uses your company computer or if they use an active directory account, you can install a silent mode tracker on that computer globally for all users of the system. When you configure the silent mode tracker this way, you do not need to install the software individually for each user of the system. Time and activity are automatically logged for the employee based on windows or active directory user profile.


WARNING: You must ensure all employees have their own unique usernames on the computers. The same username is NOT ALLOWED even on different computers. So this method is only suitable where usernames on computers are centrally decided or allocated to users.


Note: Steps 1-3 are to be done only once for preparing the installation script for your company. You can reuse this script or execute this script using remote installation methods of your choice to automate the installation on all your company computers


1. Download the installation script from the location below.

2. Open the script in a text editor, such as Notepad or Visual Studio Code.

Replace the default installation key "companyinstallationkey" with your actual key in the following line of code:

after you place your key correctly, the line of code should look something like the following:

3. Save the edited script.

Note: Steps 4 through 7 simply execute the powershell script as administrator on the computer used by the employee. These can be automated using remote installation methods]


4. Copy the edited script to each machine where you want to install TeamLogger silent mode tracker.


5. Type "PowerShell" in the search bar.


6. Right-click on the "Windows PowerShell" option and select "Run as administrator" from the context menu. Or directly click on Run PowerShell as administrator.


7. Navigate to the directory where you copied the edited script (in step 4) using the cd command.

Execute the script by typing its name followed by the Enter key. For example, if you saved the script as "install_tlauto_g.ps1", you would type:


Repeat steps 4-7 on each machine where you want to install silent mode tracker. You can use remote installation methods to automate this process. Please note that tracking will only start after computer restart when employee starts using the computer.
