I can see some WMI instrumentation per server but I can't seem to find an overall number.
I am quite sure this number is maintained as citrix itself displays it in a few places.
Anyone know where it may be?
This is rather important so I will give some points for it.

I am just looking for a way in code to say there are currently n users logged into the entire system (this is what I have been told so far)
I have found WMI counters on the boxes themselves that have a per box number, and I could probably aggregate these myself but the correctness will be non-deterministic at best due to the time it takes me to aggregate.
I should be mroe specific.
I am looking for the number of licenses in use (if its easier). As one user can be on multiple boxes, I am happy to consider each instance of a user crossing machines 2 users ... but I cannot say 1 user is running 9 applications = 9 users.
A secondary question is can I ask it to return me all instances of users running <insert process>
Thanks in advance,
Greg
If you have access to your CMC, right-click on the Farm (top of tree node), select Properties, select Information. Here you will see "Current Session Count', "Servers" in farm", "Connection License Count", "Pooled Connection Licenses Available", "Pooled Connection Licenses in Use".
Are these the numbers your looking for and your looking for a way to retrieve these numbers using code, correct? If you need a way to code it, you'll most likely need to use MFCOM properties. You can download MFCOM from Citrix. I'd have to do some research to figure out the code to pull those numbers I listed above.
For you secondary question, if your using Resource Manager; I believe by default it collects what users are using what processes and it stores this information in a RM Database if you have it configure. From here you could do some data mining to find that information or some type of reporting tool (Cystral Reports).
There are two Databases. One has to be there and that is the Citrix Datastore which should be the name of your farm. That Database you can't read because its encrypted / proprietary to Citrix. In order to access information in this Database you have to use programming and MFCOM. To access and learn about MFCOM, go here http://support.citrix.com/
The second Database I talked about is the Resource Manager Summary Database. By default Resource Manager collects some default statistics, but you have to configure it to save the information in a Database for historical information.
In the CMC (Citrix Management Console) for the Farm there is a "Resource Manager" node. This is where you can configure the Resource Manager. To configure there must be a Database setup, then the server needs a ODBC connection to that Database. Once this is set on the Tab labeled "Summary Database", you configure it to use the server that you've setup the Database Connection on. This is a high level basic setup, but it should get you started. If your running Citrix MetaFrame XP it needs to be the XPe version of the product. I believe Citrix 3.0 and 4.0 come with it by default.

Are you looking for concurrent per farm or per server? Are you looking to script this or do you want to know where to find this information in the CMC?
