Bill,

Are you sure that you're looking at the Application Event Log of the
computer on which VNC server is running, and not the log on a domain
controller?

The Application Event Log will contain a number of Information messages from
WinVNC4, starting "Connections: accepted" or "Connections: closed", for each
connection that is made to the server.

Success Audits will be logged either to a domain controller, or to the
computer on which VNC Server is running, depending on your network setup.

Regards,

Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.
