[Raffle] Win a Terminal Services Log!!!
Terminal Services Log is a server monitoring application that allows you to easily monitor user activities on your Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop Services and Citrix XenApp server or farm. It tells you which users are logged on to your server, what applications they are using and more.
At the moment Terminal Services log is able to generate following reports:
- Monitor who, when and from where connected to the server/farm
- Monitor Total, Idle, and Active times for every user on a Remote Desktop Services system
- Applications used by user per every session
- Compliance ready reports save money from legal compliance penalties
- IP addresses and Client names monitoring (pinpoint exact location of all the users)
- Software license usage (from office to wide variety of applications)
- File and Logon Audit Reports
- Citrix XenApp concurrent license reports
Few cases where Terminal Services Log will save you money:
1. Monitor total time for every user connected to a server/farm
For instance, you can identify long periods of inactivity, monitor an individual user’s activities on a Terminal Services / Citrix server, and determine total active hours for subcontractors.
2. Compliance ready reports
Compliance ready reports will save you money from legal compliance penalties. Bank, insurance companies, hospital and others must comply with compliance requirements like FISMA, SOX, HIPAA or PCI-DSS.
3. Software licenses usage
Terminal Services Log keeps in compliance your applications that are used on your server/farm. Doesn’t matter if your applications are using per user or maybe per device licensing (like Microsoft Office on remote desktop servers) you are able to configure Terminal Services Log to monitor each user and device application access. TSL will save you money by potentially reporting that you have to many licenses or keep you away from application license penalties
4. RDS per user or per device CALs
Have you ever deployed Remote desktop server and you didn’t know what licensing model choose? Remote desktop server allows you use for 120 days in grace period. Install Terminal Services Log immediately at the server and after 120 days you will have exact report how many users or devices are using the system. Not only TSL will tell you what licensing model you can choose it will inform you with exact number of RDS CALs you need to purchase.
You can configure Terminal Services Log to send you reports daily/weekly/monthly to your email and you will forget that you ever installed application. When your boss, regulatory agency or internal control ask you for system access logs just open TSL and ask them what data they need to be included in the report.
