Hi,
If you use quser instead of qwinsta, you will get logon time...and
from that to get to the session duration is a fery small step isn't it?

Hi Jacques,

Running quser is the same as running 'query user'. The logon time doesn't
show how long the session is in idle mode, which is what Sean is after.

Hi,
Isn't there any way we can use qwinsta (or other tool) to retrieve only the
session IDs (or only Session Names) as an array to use it Powershell code?

I think that way, managing will be quite easy.

Hello ritwik,

You can try and parse the output of qwinsta but you may run into troubles
if one of the columns is empty
