We have three citrix servers that are all Windows 2000 servers and we run Metaframe XP feature release 3 service pack 4. What I am looking for is a report that shows who has logged in, from what client, and how long they were logged in over a certain period of time... say the last year or so. Is there anything available like that in the management console or anywhere else that I can access?

ScottCGI,
Unfortunately I don't think you're going to be able to get all the information you are requesting from Citrix.
If you have Resource Manager installed and configured properly, you will be able to generate some reports (Depending on how long your RM has been running and if you don't have it to ever purge).

You will not get any client information or how long they were logged into the Citrix farm.
The only way we have ever determined how long some1 was logged in while in Citrix is to look at the Domain Controllers (and that's not a pretty procedure).
The D/C's will have a security event with the user information on when they logged in and logged out. But image if you had 20 domain controllers!! I doubt that your D/C's can hold information from that a year ago. Not only that...imaging having to search the entire security log...OUCH!

So overall...Citrix does provide some reporting capability but it's pretty limited. It's not going to provide the information you are looking for.

Hope tha thelps.
