Server Remote Desktop Logs

Unlike Unix, Windows logs are binary files, so you can not simply search them. And, sometimes it is difficult to find the entries you want, but it is not impossible.

You will need to find the correct submenu in the Events Viewer, then look through the entries there. Logs can be filtered, and exported in various formats.

Find Terminal Services Log

Open Control Panel, go to Event Viewer, then find
