    How to monitor when a computer is remote connected RDP - Solution!

    I have an accounting PC that my accountant/bookkeepers access to do my books and taxes. Is there a way to have Homeseer recognize when someone has logged into the computer via RDP? I'd like to use it to monitor when the computer is being used, ultimately so I can cut down any other internet bandwidth that may slow that connection down as well as run a rough counter to see how long that connection is made?

    Any plugins or creative solutions? The computer is on the same internal network as my HS PC. All running Windows 7 Ultimate.

      There is an event log with a specific # at start and end of session. Don't know how to parse event logs in Windows to HomeSeer though...

              While not specific to RDP, I use BLLan to poll when an IP appears on my net. My VPN issues an IP to the VPN client when connected. I simply created a BLLan device for the client IP. This works very well. I have it set up so that I get a Pushover notification when the VPN is active. So does RDP issue an IP to the client ?
