Guest kalevet Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Hi, Is there any way to identify the connection and disconnection of a user to a console session, at the server level? Were I work several users have to connect from time to time to the console of a Win2003 server. I'd like to write something that will notify the users if they snatched the console session while it was in use by another user. For that, I need somehow to get the connection and disconnection events, if there's such a thing. Any Ideas?
Guest Jeff Pitsch Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Re: Identifying connection events to console session It's been a while since I've done this but Windows used to tell you when you were taking the console session if someone was logged in.

Guest Helge Klein Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Re: Identifying connection events to console session The following notification mechanisms are built into Windows for this purpose: For "normal" applications: WTSRegisterSessionNotification For services: HandlerEx The documentation on WTSRegisterSessionNotification is a good starting point: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa383841.aspx I hope this helps.
