"The Terminal Services Management Pack for Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 monitors the health and performance of Terminal Services components. It includes a rich set of views, tasks, and reports, and provides monitoring for Terminal Services, the Licensing Server, and the Session Directory. This Management Pack detects and alerts problems with performance, health, and availability. It can automatically respond to critical events and performance indicators. In some cases it identifies issues before they become critical, enabling you to increase the overall availability and performance of your Windows operating systems. " Feature Summary: • Independent discovery of Terminal Server Service (application mode), Licensing Server Service, and Session Directory Service (Windows 2003 only) • Optional discovery of Terminal Server installations in Remote Desktop (Remote Application) mode • Performance threshold monitoring on key Terminal Services Metrics using Self-Tuning Thresholds • Comprehensive performance metric collection (optional collection rules) • Comprehensive event rules with associated knowledge • Availability and Event Reports Especially the "Performance threshold monitoring on key Terminal Services Metrics using Self-Tuning Thresholds" sounds extremely Arnold Schwarzenegger. Fact of the matter is that these key three key metrics are: the number of active sessions, the number of inactive sessions, and the total processor time per session. Not exactly rocket science... But these are just the default settings and that's just fine. What is kind of cool is that you can (if you set up reporting correctly) now finally create a historical overview of your Terminal Servers in terms of: • Terminal Server active and inactive connections by peak hours • Terminal Server active and inactive connections by day • Terminal Services total sessions by day Go get it.
