is there a way to know how many users are logging on to our Terminal Server box? i need monthly stats for terminal service activity.
i was told to add the following line to our logon script

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

i'm hesitant to add this to our default.bat script since i do not want to log ALL activity, only logons occuring on the TS box.

HELP!!

thanks
 
Sorry, I should have explained more clearly.
I meant: add this line to your TS-specific login script.

If you don't have one, then you can add this line to the login
script that is automatically run for every user of a terminal
server:
C:\WinNT\system32\UsrLogon.Cmd

or you can create a TS-specific login script. Check:

Users

Thanks for clearing that up Vera.

Can you confirm is this is the correct syntax?

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

i edited the usrlogon.cmd file and added the line as described above, logged on to TS from a remote machine, but no logon.log file in the system32 folder?
 
here's the content of the USRLOGON.CMD file...where should i place the following syntax?
here's the usrlogon.cmd contents, where should i put the following line :
echo %username% %clientname% %date% %time% >> logon.log

Yes, UsrLogon.Cmd has a lot of conditional statements, making it
difficult to know where to put extra statements.
This can be a very good reason for creating your own login script.

But if you want to add the "echo ..." line to UsrLogon.Cmd, put it on
the very last line, after the ":Done" label.
Whatever your way through the script, you'll always reach the
":Done" label and then run your echo-command.

So the last lines should look:

:Cont1

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