 Tracking concurrent telnet sessions – Windows 2003
concurrent connection, Telnet, tracking users, Windows Server, Windows Server 2003
Does anyone know a good method of tracking concurrent telnet sessions in Windows Server 2003? I know you can type netstat -an | find ":23" to find all connections to ports beginning with 23 but this is an issue for other services listening on ports like 2301 or 2381 for example. We are trying to track concurrent telnet sessions for licensing purposes. Thanks for the assistance.

Software/Hardware used:
Windows, Windows Server 2003, telnet

Answer Wiki:
You basically answered your own question. All you need to do is add a space after 23. <b>netstat -an | find ":23 "</b> That will weed out the 2301 or 2381 ports from the output.

You can use a powershell command to count the lines.

@(netstat -an | select-string “:23 “).count
