Hello there,

Got this script online and might be helpful for you.

#Obtains the user credentials needed for accessing the XenDesktop Site monitoring information

$cred = Get-Credential

 

#Grab ‘Users’ data from XenDesktop site

#Replace localhost with FQDN of DDC if not running on DDC

$userdata = Invoke-RestMethod -uri “***************************************************” -Credential $cred

 

#Populate User objects in $users variable

$users = $userdata.content.properties

 

#Obtain ‘Sessions’ data from XenDesktop Site

#Replace localhost with FQDN of DDC if not running on DDC

$sessiondata = Invoke-RestMethod -uri “******************************************************” -Credential $cred

 

#Populate Session objects in $sessions variable

$sessions = $sessiondata.content.properties

 

#Create $date variable and set date to a temporary value

$date = “2015-01-06”

 

#Query the user for an updated date value, in specified format

$date = read-host “Please enter the date you wish to search (YYYY-MM-DD): “

 

#Returns the sessions for the specified date and populatess them into the $sessionDate1 variable

$sessionDate1 = $sessions | where {$_.startdate.InnerText -like “$($date)*”}

 

#Populates the $userIDs variable with the userId value from the filtered sessions

$userIDs = $sessionDate1.UserId.InnerText

 

#Create a null array, used to capture and count user logons

$userObject = @()

 

#Begin for loop to process data

foreach ($userID in $userIDS) {

   

    #Create $userName variable and set the value to $null    

    $userName = $null

 

    #Filter $users so that only the user object with the given userId is returned

    $userName = $users | where {$_.Id.InnerText -eq $userID}

   

    #Check to see if the currently returned username already exists in the $userObject array

    if($userObject.UserName -contains $userName.UserName) {

       

       #Return the index of the location of the current user object

       $i = [array]::indexOf($userObject.UserName,($userName.UserName))

       

       #Since the user object already exists for userName, increase logon count by one

       ($userObject[$i]).count++

    }

 

    #If userName has not already been processed, proceed to object creation

    else{

      

       #Create a new System Object named $userObj

        $userObj = new-object System.Object

 

       #Add a member property of type [string] to the object, with the value of current UserName

        $userObj | add-member -memberType NoteProperty -Name UserName -Value $userName.UserName

       

       #Add a member property of type [int] to the object, with the value of 1, since this is the first occurance

       #of the current user

       $userObj | add-member -memberType NoteProperty -Name Count -Value 1

 

       #Add the newly created user object to the $userObject array

        $userObject += $userObj

    }

}



#Display Username and Logon Count

$userObject | fl UserName,Count

Hope this resolves your Query !!
