So, this command will not work for Windows Server 2008. This command will work Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, etc. This command can be used to determine whether a specific user is logged in to a specific Remote Desktop Session Host Server or not. With the help of the query command, we can find various information about sessionId, the number of users, session state(active/inactive) etc on the Remote Desktop Session Host Server. If you want to know which types of connections are used to connect to the remote, simply click on any column of the list, say ' Status,' then right-click on it and select ' Session.' The list will then show a session column with the types of connections to remote, such as console, terminal, services, or RDP, and so on.

Here you will only be able to determine which users are using Remote Connection. Also, it contains information like what application the user is using, its current status, CPU usage, and memory usage. Here, I have only logged so it is showing one user information. It will display a list of users currently logged in. Just navigate to the Users tab there you will get Users currently active.Goto Run and type taskmgr.exe and press the Ok button.This method of checking Active User works for every version of Windows Server. Using Task Manager, we can see a list of active remote desktop users on a Windows server. When a client connects to a server, Windows Servers keep track of the logged-in user's information, which we can view. To connect to the server, the user uses RDP client software, whereas the server uses RDP server software, which is included with the Windows Server operating system. RDP, which stands for Remote Desktop Protocol, is a protocol developed and owned by Microsoft that allows a user to connect to another computer via a network connection using a graphical interface. There are numerous methods for determining the number of remotely connected users.

You can specify the license server through the local server Group Policy.If you're curious about who is currently connected to a remote desktop connection, you've come to the right place.

Specify the licensing mode and the license server, then click OK.

Select the RD Licensing page of the displayed dialog.

Under the Deployment Overview area, select Edit Deployment Properties from the Tasks menu.

Navigate to the Remote Desktop Services navigation area.

If using method 1, remember to remove the settings if your server has been using method 2. Method two is a bit of a hack but actually works pretty well if you have only a single licensing setup. This will help with the NComputing debacle. The first way is a new discovery and I think the preferred way as it allows you to specify multiple licencing servers and CalвЂ™s. One would thing this would be easy to do like in Server 2008, but Microsoft has changed how it works. The final step is pointing your existing terminals at the license server. You should now have a working licensing server with licenses installed. Navigate to Computer Properties > Remote Settings > Select Users, then add the required groups. You still need to add the various required user groups to the server for the terminals to connect.

Enter quantity based on license then add.

Usually вЂper deviceвЂ™ will be fine but if you are using NComputing terminals, you will need вЂper userвЂ™

You will now be able to add the license information > Next.

These terminals having caused issues in the past with Impero too so we are slowly going to phase them out. Instead of just crashing out like the е…ѓ00, the е…ѓ50 displays a licensing error. I discovered this by chance when I tested our only е…ѓ50 on the same system. After a server reboot the е…ѓ00 terminals do not connect again and just crash out. Our A-Trust terminals work fine under вЂper deviceвЂ™ licensing so it seems like we are going to need a hybrid of the two.Д®ssentially what happens is that everything looks fine until the server is out of its 160 day grace period. For some bizarre reason they will only work under a вЂper userвЂ™ CAL license. Now this is where things get tricky with NComputing terminals.
