Total Terminal Server connections

[Guest Jeff Volante]

Hi all,

 

I am trying to find a way to pragmatically determine the total number of

connections for a given terminal server. I know that I can get this

information via the "qwinsta /counter" command, but where is this info

stored. I thought I could get it via WMI and the Win32_TerminalService

class which has a property called TotalCount. When I query this class I get

no information back. Is this information stored in the registry or

somewhere? Any solutions are fine. Thanks.

Q: How can I retrieve the total number of sessions on my Terminal

Server?

 

A: TS Manager shows you all existing sessions, but doesn't give the

total count.

If you are running Windows 2003 on your TS, you can use the

following script (save it as TSSessionCount.vbs):

 

Set obji = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!

Win32_Service='TermService'")

wscript.echo "Total sessions: " & obji.TotalSessions

wscript.echo "Disconnected sessions: " & obji.DisconnectedSessions

 

Run the script from a command prompt with:

cscript TSSessionCount.vbs

That script only displays active sessions. I am looking for the total

number of sessions since last reboot. That is what "qwinsta /counter"

displays along with other information.

Re: Total Terminal Server connections

 

qwinsta.exe uses the regrettably undocumented winsta.dll. From that

DLL it imports WinStationGetTermSrvCountersValue which is probably the

function you are looking for. You will have to experiment a little to

get the parameters right - I did a quick internet search and found

nothing helpful.

 

By the way: I found this out with depends.exe.

 

I hope this helps.
