usage reports on users - for RDP

[Guest]

Have 3 RDP Win 2003 terminal servers - would like to get reports as to who
logged on and for how long.


I can see the information in the Terminal Services Manager, so I am guessing
it must be stored in some kind of database ? Anyone have any ideas or
experience in this..

Thanks
Keith

No, it's not stored anywhere, apart from in the Security EventLog, if
you have enabled auditing of logon and logoff events.

Without any third-party software (like
http://www.eginnovations.com/web/egcitrix.htm) it wont be easy to get
those reports you want.
I you use auditing and then export the eventlog to run somekind of
script over it you could achieve it i gues.
There are some free tools for monitorring & reporting the processes
runnig on your TS servers
(http://www.schinning.net/FreeTools/tabid/54/Default.aspx) liek
AppTrack but i dont think they will give you reports on session lenght.
