Hi all
Does anyone know how it could be possible to know in Pcvue the IP of the terminal used to open an RDS session
Thanks a lot

Hi Nico,
Do you mean to know from which IP address the RDS connection was made (the originator)?

Hi Kantha
Yes, from which IP address the RDS connection was made
I found this command line
netstat -n | find ":3389" | find "ESTABLISHED"
where 3389 is the port used by RDP
We can save the result in a file and then ask PcVue to read it but :
-can we do it more easily
-what is the result if two or more RDP session are established on a server
Thks

Hi Nico,
Same thinking. I found the same solution, and also with the same question about having two or more RDP sessions established on a server.
Unfortunately, I do not have an answer for this?.
I did find some old post about a powershell module that could list some RDS client details. It seems to be able to give the client name and IP address, but again, I have not tested this solution. So maybe you could give it a try?

Hi,
I am not sure I catch the issue here.
If you are in PcVue, you can get your station number. In an RDS set-up, there is a one-to-one correspondance between your station number and your IP (or hostname).
Do you mean you do not want to parse the station.dat in SCADA Basic ?

So I am wrong, thank you Kantha for correcting me 😉
If the goal is to get the IP address of the RDS client device, then it is probably a lost battle because the RDS server may not even be connected directly to the RDS client. If there is a router somewhere in between, the RDS server only knows about the router address. And I do not see how PcVue in a session on that RDS server would be able to get more.
Sorry (but parsing a station.dat in SCADA Basic is fun anyway)

Hi
Thanks you Benoit and Khanta
I need to inhibit writing data (population) if the terminal used to open the rds session is in a certain IP RANGE if it is outside of this IP range writing data will be ok.

Hi
I did a short test
If two RDS sessions are openned the command line netstat -n | find ":3389" | find "ESTABLISHED" (executed in one RDS session) returns the list of all the terminals connected to the server, not only the current one used to open the current session
Benoit is probably right...loss battle
