Monitor for the time it takes to open documents from file shares

sumfknguy

Morning fellow twackians..

Does anyone have any experience creating a monitor that will determine the amount of time it takes to open documents (word, acrobat) from a file share? This is part of a manual daily task that takes place here and I would love to give these guys a break from having to wake up at 6AM everyday to handle this.

Any help is appreciated!

I'm not aware of any out-of-box components that could simulate this. There are a couple of options for you.

• If you're fluent in VBscript or PowerShell, you should be able to create a script that simulates this transaction and outputs the total time needed to complete it.
• There is a product on the horizon from SolarWinds that might be able to provide this information as well. I'm not sure if it's been given a name but you can find out more about it in the following blog post.

If you decide to go the scripting route, please share your script with the class. I'm certain others could benefit from your work.
