Hi invantsui,

Yes this should be possible.

You can create an APM Windows Script Monitor that will check the number of instances available in the Win32_ComputerSystem WMI Class.

I tested that class and that worked only for domain accounts. The UserName field is not populated for the Local accounts, not sure why. Still if you only need to know the number of account this is sufficient.

Script Examples: http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/vbscript/wmi_who_logon.htm

WMI Class definition:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394102(VS.85).aspx

Hi Yann,

I am new to Solarwinds APM and WMI.

Does the above "number of account" will mean the number of concurrent Window login to the server?

Best Regards,
