A system and method for remotely controlling a set of computing devices on a computer network is described herein. The system can include: a plurality of computing devices connected to the computer network; an user interface that allows a plurality of users to manage the computing devices; a plurality of profiles, wherein each user has at least one associated profile; means for detecting events and sending notifications for such events; and a reporting mechanism. The reporting mechanism can include a means for logging all accesses an all actions to each computing device. The means for detecting events can include classifying the events by severity, and the notification sent can include the severity. The plurality of profiles can include each computing device the associated user can access. The plurality of profiles can also include a system administrator that has total control over the system and all computing devices. The method can include: monitoring a plurality of computing devices for output; receiving output from at least one of the plurality of computing devices; logging and time stamping the received output if the output meets a predetermined criteria to be time stamped; examining output to determine whether a notification is required to be sent to a user of a plurality of users; and determining whether an action is required to be executed and if so, executing the action.
