<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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?).

take a look at win32ts here:<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">I was wondering if there is a way in python to determine the idle time for a terminal server session as QUERY USER does.<br>
<br>
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)?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
