Remote Logon Alerts on SBS 2011

My client wants to get an email alert any time anyone logs on via SBS 2011 Remote Web Access.

I know I can setup an alert from within Event Viewer, but I don't know if there is a unique EventID which definitively indicates a Remote Logon.

1. Does anyone know if there is such an EventID, and if so what it is?
2. Is there any reason to choose the Event Viewer approach over doing it with eventtriggers.exe?

Sorry for the delay -- I thought I had already accepted this solution and awarded the points.
No problem. Thanks dossbob. I hope that little bit of information was of some help.
Cheers!

After some more research, it looks like the following would indicate a successful remote logon:

    EventID:  1149
    Source:    Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager

Also, it looks like 1148 means a failed attempt to logon.

I hope that helps someone.
Very interesting, thank you for updating. In reviewing apparently that is new with Server 2008 R2. I guess I am behind , apparently I am still thinking pre R2 where it was a very common question.
