Need logon history of RDP clients

I've been asked to provide a log-on history, showing when people sign on and off an RDP session. I know I can see who is logged on at the moment, but don't know of a way to get the usage history?

Thanks KCTS. I have looked at auditing & it seems somewhat cumbersome. I've looked thru some old postings here & saw one by LEEW giving instructions for writing a script that's stored as a .csv. I've never written a script before, but since I've come along a lot of solutions requiring a script, I guess it's time to learn. It's too bad there's no way to go back in time.

Thanks Rob... I almost get this. In each user profile, I see the usrlogin.bat file (or something like that). Is that where you mean I should add the above & if so, how do I find it to edit it for a specific user? I did a search & only found 2 usrlogin.bat files?? Or do I put it in the logon/off script in the group policy?? Sorry, but I don't think I'm completely interpreting this correctly... new stuff for me...

Also, I saw a posting with this script -
----Logon.cmd----
IFMEMBER "%username%"=="domain\UserMonGroup"
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 echo LOGON %username% %computername% %date% %time% >> \\server\share\logon.log (My apologies to the author, but I can't remember where I saw this).
If I read that correctly, it goes in the grp policy?
