James,

This kind of stuff intrigues me.  Without giving up details can you tell us 
what he was doing and what type of account he was exploiting?

Many times I have found issues in my own setup listening to what is vulnerable 
on other networks.

Thanks

Troy

We do have that set up in our audit policy, and the logon was indeed a 528; the 
problem was that the guy didn't use his own account.  He also had no business 
doing what he did.  Luckily the terminal services logon event provided the ip 
address that connected, so we were able to track it down to the person who did 
it and report them.  As to what happens now, anyone's guess.  I highly doubt he 
will be fired, although if it were me, that is what I would recommend, due to 
the nature of the account he used and the actions he took.  At least we are 
going to be able to get rid of another generic account . . .

The default.rdp will help, but for future, you probably need to set a GPO to 
audit logon events.  If this already exists, just look on the security log for 
the event.  (I think it is 528, but from memory so not positive)

Subject: RDP question

RDP question for everyone - is there a file on the client (log or other file 
type) that shows a client's most recent rdp sessions?  When I click on my 
remote desktop connection, it always shows me my the name of the last server I 
RDP'd into, but I am looking to see if that is stored somewhere on the local 
computer.  We had some inappropriate activity using a service account and don't 
yet have enough information to prove that a certain person did something they 
should not have.  The more information I can obtain, the better.  The client 
was XP Pro SP2, if that helps any.  I have viewed the event logs on the server 
they logged into, and it unfortunately does not provide the computer name that 
connected to it, just the IP address.  I want irrefutable proof, and this, in 
combination with the DHCP logs, does not quite provide that.  I have been 
unable to find anything yet in Google using multiple different search strings.


Thanks,
