    Win2003 Server *does* indeed log the client IP for terminal services/remote
    desktop. It is logon type 10, and it logs the IP under
    "SourceNetworkAddress." Of course, you have to have to enable auditing of
    logons in the event logs....

    I have worked on MS Terminal Services both on Win2k and Win 20003
    server. Both of them lack the functionality of logging the IPs or
    displaying them in 'Terminal Services Manager' snap-in.

    One thing I did notice is that, if you look into the TERMINAL SERVICES
    MANAGER > SESSIONS snap-in it does resolve the hostnames of the machines
    whose records are present in your default name servers.

    It doesn't log the source IP for each connection. Mark Burnett wrote a
    good article about supplementing this short-coming using a tool called
    Zebedee. You can find the article on SecurityFocus.com

    Apparently this is not available functionality in Win2003 TS either. I
    haven't tested this yet.

    Hi all,

    continuing the TS subject, I think that someone is having access to one
    of
    my servers thru Terminal Services... anyone know how can I audit these
    TS
    logins?? I looked at the events but didn't find any ip logged.

    Thanks
