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).
