Software for Managing Timesheets?

An anonymous reader asks: "I currently work as a help desk supervisor for the IT department of a Top 30 American university. We have around 40 graduate and undergraduate students manning our support areas at different times of the day and night, and a recent augmentation of our budget has us in the position to hire more. We still do our master schedule with a moderately complex Excel file, our time sheets are submitted online using a webpage, and our workers' clock in and out with a separate webpage which gives us reports that we import into yet another spreadsheet. Needless to say, our current, time-consuming method is rather clunky and has us looking at alternatives. What existing systems are out there that might fill our needs? What systems should we avoid?"

If you can afford a commercial solution, TimeClockPlus [timeclockplus.com] is excellent.

What would really be nice is if you could go to the Domain Controller at the end of the week and find out what users were logged in and for how long.

I'm almost sure Windows tracks this. Does SAMBA track it when acting as a DC?

In any event, figure out how that works and just have a script e-mail a report at the end of the week.
