Thanks,M already using Powergui,but here i can see the info which i am able to see form vi Vi client session option only.

Do we have any option somewhere in logs or utility to locate the particular vi client session is coming form which network system like ip/host name of system from where user is connected to VC.

Also can we locate for specific id user id..like form where person logged in using that id to my win 2008 Server.

How do you currently locate users that login to your AD network, on their PCs ?

vCenter Access should be security locked by a User Group in Active Directory.

If you can list the user accounts, you will need to use AD to track down the users, and locate, the PC they are logged in from.

am able to locate one using security logs , but here in my case someone logged to Server using local admin cred, and in logs i can see for network info it is showing localhost, while it should display some system/network ip.!!

so i thought good to track for vi client logging ?
