How to filter Remote Desktop connection in Event Log filter

windows-event-logwindows-server-2008

I need to see only success/fail logs for Remote Desktop connection. I want to monitor who (what username), when (datetime) and where (ip address) tried to connect to my remote server.

How do I filter this in Event Log in MS Windows Server 2008 R2?

Thanks

Check first if logging is enabled. You can use Basic windows logging using the policy setting "Audit Logon Events". You can then filter for these events as described here: Link

If you need some more features (in the future) I recommend installing Secure RDP.
