Terminal Services Per User Licensing Usage Tracking
The Terminal Services Team has posted a new article about Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services Per-User License tracking. License usage can be tracked in 3 scopes:
- Domain : Generates a per user usage report across the host domain of a Terminal Services Licensing Server (TSLS)
- Organizational Unit (OU): Generates a per user license usage report across the given OU in the host domain of a TSLS
- All Trusted Domains: Generates a per user license usage report across all trusted domains
Once reports are generated, the results can be exported to Excel for further analysis. Another cool thing the article talks about is how to gather license usage statistics via WMI.
