Script to find if a Windows 2008 server is actually being utilized
We have a couple of Win 2008 servers given to our team. Many a times the server is not being utilized after the initial few months as the project has ended. But we are not always notified about it.
Criteria for knowing if a server is being utilized is:
1. See if a user has logged-in atleast once a week
2. See if the disk utilization has increased.
My question is:
How to determine (in an auto-mated way) if a server is being actively used or utilized?
How to monitor (in an auto-mated way) a server to see if it is actively being used?
Is there any Windows script which can let me know if its a server which is being utilized actively?

From the 1000s of variables, these are the only 2 things I want to monitor. So I am sure there should be an easier way to take care of it.
