RE: RWW Usage logging

Hi Steven,

I just wanted to know if there was some kind of feature available in SBS
that we could use for this purpose. My client was interested in how often RWW
was used by his employees. I couldnt find anything hence my question in the
newsgroup.

Merv's solution works, but thankx for the reply.

From your post, I understand that you want to know how to logging or
monitoring the usage of RWW. If I am off base, please feel free to let me
know.

First of all, please understand that this question appears to be consulting

we are only equipped to provide break/fix support. However, we are happy to

Outside of the US/Canada:

Here I'd like to provide you some general info on the issue you are
encountering now.

Based on my knowledge, I am afraid there is no native way of SBS 2k3 server
to logging or monitor the RWW. In addition, if you want to display the
free/busy of remote desktop of their workstation on the RWW web page, you
may need to code/re-code of RWW page. There is no native feature of RWW to
display this information.

For assistance with this coding/development issue, please consider these
resources:
