Here is the exact request made:

Please determine how to enumerate the users who currently have a connection 
to a server whether via terminal session (Citrix, RDP), via connecton to a 
share on that server, etc. The data must be output to a file. The file should 
contain usernames as well as a total count.

So... What i need to do, at a bare minimum, is list users connected to a machine. I'd also like to list what they are connected too (Shared Drive, RDP, VNC, etc).

We are on a primarily windows network, with shared drives/printers/services/etc - although we do have some AIX, an AS400 box, a VMWare virtual cluster.

I'm not sure what the best starting point or tool to use would be. Getting this for Windows would cover 90% of the request, but I'd like to include AIX/linux boxes if possible.

In 2003, go to computer management and look under the shares folder. That will tell you what users are using shares and open sessions, the users tab in the task manager will tell you who's logged in over rdp, and VNC has it's own user tracking/info. On the AS/400 you can use wrkactjob, AIX would be who or similar and the VMWare I'm not sure. That's a new one. Getting all of this to a file... ugh. Make sure you push back on the auditors; they often ask for things that are impossible since they don't actually know any better. Especially IT/IS. – skub Jan 18 at 20:36
