Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
Hoping you can help? Our windows VPN server (2008 r2) logs VPN entries to text file via NPS<br />
However, these i find are a bit of a mess to decipher<br />
<br />
Are there any free tools available to import the text file to generate a report from?<br />
<br />
The only information i want is who logged in, when, for how long and from what machine and public IP<br />
<br />
Any help would be greatly apprechiated

How to Generate a Microsoft VPN Report

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.

Windows Networking

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.
