Remote Desktop Usage

[John Denver]

I've got a app that is written is C#, and it's used at various different
geographical locations. A lot of my users, use remote desktop to remote
into a different PC that has my app installed. This app interfaces with
hardware, and only certain PC's have that hardware, so that is why the
remote sessions.

Anyway, I'm looking to track how much time my app is used, when someone is
using it via remote desktop. Is there some windows event that I can look
for, to tell me if a remote user is using my app? I

Well, you can certainly see who is logging on with Remote Desktop.

Provided all of your remote users have unique IDs can't you look at what
they are running that way in the event logs?

Thats exactly what I'm looking for, a way for my app, to handle checking for
RDP.

Do you know if there is a way I can get the user that is logged in, or the
IP of the PC that initiated the RDP session? I've got a local login, and
sometimes when people start a RDP session they may login as the local user
account, so I would be able to tell by the user name, but if I had the
address, I use that to get the username.
