Re: TS Detection During Logon

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I think his question was not whether the machine was a TS, but whether the user was logged in remotely. You can still log in to a TS machine normally, from a locally attached keyboard.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that @PRODUCTSUITE would only say if a machine was set up to be a TS, not whether it was being used as one by a particular user.

Like I mentioned, I believe you could use WMI from within your script to do this in a somewhat more elegant way than Perl, and more streamlined than 3rd party utilities. I believe this TechNet article should help:

Better and easier: use the logon script processor Kixtart (http://
www.kixtart.org). It has a builtin macro @PRODUCTSUITE which tells you
whether you are logging into a terminal server. Works well in many
environments I know.

There is probably a WMI or WTS option for this that may work, though I'm not
personally familiar with it. I'm a Perl geek, so I tend to parse text
output from existing commands.

A simple script based approach would be to execute:
qwinsta <username>
where <username> is replaced by the user name of the person logging on.
<username> is optional, but limits the spew if there are a lot of users on
the server.

Parse the output to find the line which begins with the '>' character (w/o
the single quotes). This is the current user session. If the '>' is
followed by console, they are logged in locally, anything else means it is a
remote connection.

This works even if the user logged in remotely with /console, as /console
just puts them in session 0, it doesn't change the session type.
