    For the past few days I've been searching for a way to see who is loggin in on a terminal/server without having log on yourself and check. Originally I had planned to use WMI, but I ran into too many difficulties with security issues. I've recently switched to trying a RPC program that I can just load on every computer and have it check who is logged on and toss me back the info. However, during this entire process I've felt like I'm inventing the wheel all over again. Surely there is someone who has done this before? Does anyone know of any programs/resources I could turn to?

      Have you eliminated the Terminal Services API?

        I think I'm going to run into the same security problems I did with WMI, but I will look in to that more. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

          Well security issues exists for a reason. You might consider just digging in and getting up to speed is a better approach than an unsecured solution.
