Logon Logging   

Hello all,
What's the best way to log RDP users as they come and go?  I'd like to log 
the id and the time/date they logged on and off.  A script to append a 
record to a file in MS Access is easy, but that doesn't work in a script 
that I can have run at logon/logoff time.  Would also like to log the client 
os used (Win,Mac...) if possible, but right now I'd be happy with just the 
on/off/time.
Thanks
John

Re: Logon Logging   

If you enable auditing of security events, you will see all logon 
and logoff events in the Security tab of the EventLog on the TS.

You can filter and export these events once a month to a tab-
delimited textfile for further processing.

Or you could make your own, very simple logon report by adding a 
line to your TS-specific logon and logoff script:

echo %username% %clientname% %date% %time% >> logon.log
