windows server last access timestamp (RDP)

Is there a relatively easy way to determine the last time an officer last logged on (e.g RDP) to a windows server? I need to verify a list of officers with admin access to a server and need some stats on last access to help flag potential inappropriate assignment of admin rights.

You would have to enable auditing of logon events on every RDS Host.

Then monitor our forward your event log for event 528.

If you have auditing enabled then you will have events in the event logs and also you can configure an alert, looking for those particular events.
