I'm using Putty for Serial or SSH connections to systems.
For every session, I need to configure Logging manually, enter a new name and destination.
I was wondering if there was a solution to set it automatically. Maybe some genius wrote a plugin that's able to do it. Even better would be if Putty will ask you where to save the log right after closing a session window.
My second question is regarding the multiple sessions. Is it possible to open sessions in tabs, a little bit like the Linux terminal?
Otherwise, is there another tool that can be used under Windows and allowing all of the above?
Even a shareware.

The logging is pretty easy, and built into putty. Under "Putty Configuration" click "Session", "Logging". Choose what you want to log, and where. Use the variables &Y &M &D &T &H: year, month, day, time and host. I suggest something like:
&T&D&M&Y&H.log
So it's easy to sort.
SecureCRT gives you tabs, but it's not free:
