[python-win32] pywin32 question

[Steven Manross]

Ok..  fine…  I was interested so I played with it more.  Here’s what I came up with.  Enjoy!

import win32ts

protocols = {
    win32ts.WTS_PROTOCOL_TYPE_CONSOLE: "Console",
    win32ts.WTS_PROTOCOL_TYPE_ICA: "Citrix",
    win32ts.WTS_PROTOCOL_TYPE_RDP: "RDP",
}

session_types = {win32ts.WTSConnected: "Connected",
                 win32ts.WTSActive: "Active",
                 win32ts.WTSConnectQuery: "Connect Pending",
                 win32ts.WTSShadow: "Shadowing another session",
                 win32ts.WTSDisconnected: "Disconnected",
                 win32ts.WTSIdle: "Idle",
                 win32ts.WTSListen: "Listening",
                 win32ts.WTSReset: " Resetting",
                 win32ts.WTSDown: "Down -- Error",
                 win32ts.WTSInit: "Initializing"}

server_name = "someserver.mydomain.com"

ts_connection = win32ts.WTSOpenServer(server_name)

for s in win32ts.WTSEnumerateSessions(ts_connection, 1):
    if s['WinStationName'] != "Services" and s['State'] != win32ts.WTSListen:
        user = win32ts.WTSQuerySessionInformation(ts_connection, s['SessionId'], win32ts.WTSUserName)
        if not user:
            user = "No one is logged in"

        protocol = win32ts.WTSQuerySessionInformation(ts_connection, s['SessionId'], win32ts.WTSClientProtocolType)
        print(f"Session: {s['SessionId']} - State = {session_types[s['State']]} --> User: {user} -- Protocol: {protocols[protocol]}")

win32ts.WTSCloseServer(ts_connection)

output:

Session: 1 - State = Active --> User: myusername -- Protocol: RDP
Session: 2 - State = Connected --> User: No one is logged in -- Protocol: Console

HTH

While I don’t have a huge environment to test in, this seems to work remotely from my win 10 pc to my Windows Server 2016 which has remote admin RDP enabled…  I would assume it’s the same APIs to talk to a full fledged WTS Server.

Kudos to the internet for having the answer already written down for me…  even if it was in python 2 syntax (what else should I expect from a post in 11/2007?).  😊

import win32ts

for s in win32ts.WTSEnumerateSessions(win32ts.WTSOpenServer("MYSERVER.MYDOMAIN.COM"),1):
    if s['State'] == win32ts.WTSActive:
        print(f"Session is active: {s}")

output:

Session is active: {'SessionId': 1, 'WinStationName': 'RDP-Tcp#124', 'State': 0}

take a look at win32ts here:

I am guessing you would also want to use “WTSQuerySessionInformation” as well to get more detailed information about the session, but I will leave that to you to explore.

I just found this today, so I am no expert on use of this module but it looks GREAT and I will likely develop something with it myself eventually.

I was wondering if there is a way in python to determine the idle time for a terminal server session as QUERY USER does.

Also, is there a way to get that python code to run for a server other than the one running the code (as in QUERY USER /SERVER:name)?
