Log question

[Guest]

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:

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 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 "one" label.
Whatever your way through the script, you'll always reach the
"one" label and then run your echo-command.

So the last lines should look:

:Cont1

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