Project Details

Using WinRM and WMI this script counts logged on users.

You can exclude users or include only one or two users.

HOW TO

1. Place PRTG-LoggedOnUser.ps1 under C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\Custom Sensors\EXEXML

2. Create new Sensor

   Settings	Value
   EXE/Script Advanced	PRTG-LoggedOnUser.ps1
   Parameters	-ComputerName %host
   Security Context	Use Windows credentials of parent device" or use "-Username" and "-Password"

3. If needed set the "$IncludePattern" or "$ExcludePattern" parameter to include or exclude users

If you connect to Computers by IP or to not Domain Clients please read Microsoft Docs.

you maybe have to add the target to the TrustedHosts on the PRTG Probe

example: Set-Item -Path WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -Value "IPAdressOfMyTarget,HostnameOfMyTarget"

Examples

check if the user "TestUserContoso" is logged on and if not show an Error

set PRTG-LoggedOnUser.ps1 -ComputerName %host -IncludePattern '^(TestUserContoso)$' and set the Lower Error Limit

Exceptions

You can either use the parameter $IncludePattern or $ExcludePattern to exclude on sensor basis, or set the variable $ExcludeScript within the script. Both variables take a regular expression as input to provide maximum flexibility. These regexes are then evaluated againt the Username
