Allways 2 NOT active users

[megasound]

strange thing found...

i use hm7.78
i use : windows 2008
i test INACTIVE Terminal Service users
(with option : preformace counter
test line : \\127.0.0.1\Terminal Services\Inactive Sessions

these test is on a active client (active agent)

the strange thing is that there are ALLWAYS 2 inactive users even when NOBODY is logged on to this machine

is this a bug ?

Don't think it's a bug. As for me, inactive session means someone was logged in to terminal service and was disconnected without logging of. You may use standard "Terminal Services Manager" to find out ghow many sessions are handled by terminal service.

Cannot explain this. "Performance Counter" test method utilizes Windows Performance Counters engine, that is not pretty reliable. Looks like something wrong on this machine. You may start standard Windows "Performance" applet and try to check Terminal Services\Inactive Sessions counter there.

can i make some test which display the current not active sessions/users ???

You may try WMI test methiod with the following query:

Code: Select all

select InactiveSessions from Win32_PerfFormattedData_TermService_TerminalServices

when i run this i get "invalid class" (reminder its 2008 machine)
so thats not good

settings from test :
hostname____________localhost
name space__________root\cimv2 (i also tried root\WMI same result)
query_______________select InactiveSessions from Win32_PerfFormattedData_TermService_TerminalServices

sorry but this not working
what am i doing wrong ???

Looks like you do everything properly. According to the Microsoft, Win32_PerfFormattedData_TermService_TerminalServices class should be present on Windows 2008 ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394296.aspx ), but it is not. Probably, some additional WMI provider should be registered.
Regarding number of inactive sessions, I think, there always should be at least one session on Windows 2008, because special session for services is created starting from Vista/Server 2008. You may play with Win32_PerfFormattedData_TermService_TerminalServicesSession class, that is available on Windows 2008. It does not provide information about type of session (active or inactive), however it provides other usefull information about each terminal session.
