Active Sessions

To view active session for an RD Session Host, on the Site > Servers - RD Session Hosts page, click the server name and then click Active Sessions in the sidebar. The Sessions page opens with a filter applied to display sessions for the selected RDS host.

The session information includes the following:

• User. User name.
• Session ID. Session ID.
• Server. Remote server name or IP address.
• Theme. Theme name.
• Protocol. Protocol used.
• State. Whether the session is active.
• Logon Time. The time the user logged on.
• Duration. Session duration (called "Session Length" in the RAS Console).
• Idle Time. Session idle time.
• Type. Session type (e.g. Admin).
• Resolution. Screen resolution used.
• Color Depth. Color depth used.
• Device Name. Client device name.
• IP Address. Client IP address.
• Group. Group name.

Note that some of the columns could be hidden. To show or hide columns, click the "gear" icon in the upper right-hand corner above the list and select or clear the desired columns.

You can filter the list by any of the available column. To do so, select a checkbox in front of the server name and then click the "funnel" icon at the top. In the dialog that opens, select a desired column and specify criteria. You can add more columns if needed.

The drop-down menu to the left of the Search field allows you to apply a predefined filter based on the value of the State column. The available options are:

• All sessions — displays all sessions (no filter).
• Active — displays only the active sessions.
• Idle — displays only the idle sessions.
• Disconnected — displays only the disconnected sessions.

The Actions menu allows you to perform the following tasks (you can also right-click on a session to access the same menu):

• Disconnect. Disconnects the user from the server.
• Log off. Logs the user off.
• Message. Allows you to send a text message to the user.
• Show running processes. Shows the running processes (see the section that follows this one for details).
