Configuring Terminal Server: Open Event Viewer > Application and Service Logs > Microsoft > Windows > TerminalServices-Gateway > Operational and right click and select 'Enable Log'. This will enable logging for the corresponding 'Gateway' or 'Operational' processes. The logs can be viewed in Event Viewer.
Note: If the terminal server device is a 64-bit Windows OS machine (i.e., Windows Vista and above), carry out the following registry configuration::
- Open the registry editor 'regedit' of the Terminal Server machine in the Command Line Window.
- Navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\eventlog\
- To create a new key, right click on eventlog, click new > key. You can name the key as Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-Gateway/Operational.
This will convert the log type to 'Administrative' thus enabling you to perform searches and generate reports out of these logs.
The above configuration is not required for 32-bit Windows OS versions.
