Posts Tagged ‘logged’

Our school uses Server 2003 to run our network. I know how to limit the time period a user is able to log on. What I want to do is once a student logs on only allow them to stay logged on for a limited amount of time, say 15 min.

I need the ability to kick off users from remote desktop from my 2003 server. I know how to log into the 3rd connection using command line– but that does not do much good if that gets locked out as well. I saw a way to do it via command line, but i know there is also a way to do it within windows. Help appreciated.

I would like to know in the past who has logged into a particular Windows Server 2003 machine. In Linux, I would use the command “last”, and I would like similar information: username, source (IP address), start time, and either length or end time.

Most users log in using terminal services, but some use the console.
Unless you know something I don’t about the event viewer, it is not viable because it has too much junk in it. I see frequent logins from tons of users who don’t have RDP/console access to the system. I think whenever these users access the system via DCOM (or something like that), it creates an event viewer entry.
