MTAudit32 INI Settings

Mouse Tracks Audit 32 reads its run-time settings from the file mtaudit32.ini.  Below are the settings described in more detail.

Settings

GraphicMode

0 = hide graphical interface

1 = display graphical interface (default)

AuditSchedule

0 = Run audit every time (default)

1 = Run if last audit was older than 1 day 2 = Run if last audit was older than 2 days ... 180 = Run if last audit was older than 180 days

AuditMode

0 = Hardware & Software Audit (default)

1 = Hardware Audit Only

DataSubDirectory (Path must be relative to the mtaudit32.exe file)

mtdata = Place data files in the specified subdirectory (default)

Do NOT add a leading \to directory name. If the directory name cannot be resolved, the audit file will be placed in the Windows Temp directory.

AltExt1, AltExt2, AltExt3

By default, the audit program will only search for files ending with the .exe extension. If you have custom detectable software signatures that end with an extension other than .exe, you will need to change the INI entry for AltExt(no) to the extension you would like to capture.

Example: AltExt1=DLL

ManualMode (at least one ManualField INI entry must be completed for this to run)

0 = Only prompts for manual data entry the first time the audit program is run on the computer. Note: you can force the audit to run again on a computer if you delete the <computername>.rem file from the user's windows-temp folder. (default)

1 = Prompt for manual data entry every time the audit program runs

2 = Never prompt for manual entries

ManualField1 --> ManualField6

manualField1=compUserTxt1|Network Drop Number

Excluding Computers from being Audited

Create an exclude.txt file and place it in the same directory as mtaudit32.exe, the audit program will ignore host names that are present within the file.  Separate each hostname in the file with a carriage return.
