terminal services logging

You could write a simple program that would parse the event logs.  Just make sure the security log is auditing the events you need and find a log parser.

Just a thought...

You could also add a login/logoff script using the gpedit.msc (local computer policy) that runs a batch file with the following syntax:

echo %username%,%date%,%time% >> C:\%username%.txt

This will basically create an entry everytime they log on or off.  It also stores it by username for easy tracking.  I'll test it out and see how it works.

I just tested this and it works.  You probably want the result files to get sent to a hidden report share somewhere.  Just replace the c:\ with \\servername\sharename$\.  One more change I would make for the logon script is:

echo %username%,-Logon-,%date%,%time% >> C:\%username%.txt

For the logoff script add:

echo %username%,-Logoff-,%date%,%time% >> C:\%username%.txt

how do i create this in gpedit?

Do the following:

Create a file called logon.bat in C:\WINDOWS\System32\GroupPolicy\User\Scripts\Logon with the following (customize for your enviroment) syntax:
echo %username%,-Logon-,%date%,%time% >> C:\%username%.txt

Create a file called logoff.bat in C:\WINDOWS\System32\GroupPolicy\User\Scripts\Logoff with the following (customize for your enviroment) syntax:
echo %username%,-Logoff-,%date%,%time% >> C:\%username%.txt

Open GPEdit.msc and goto:

User Configuration
Windows Settings
Scripts (Logon/Logoff)
Double Click Logon (in the right pane)
Select Add
Select Browse
Select Logon.bat

Do the same steps to add the logoff.bat file to the local policy logoff script.
