Hi;
Develop in C # a windows service which looks for open remote ports: "netstat -ano" then log this information in a file or a windows log.
as keywords to search: netstat, windows service with c #.
Sorry do not understand what are you saying ?
how to capture logged in user id/IP from the application running in server and user connect there via remote desktop. so how to get user's actual user id or IP from server? is it possible ?
You could use the netstat command to get information about which IP addresses and ports your machine is communicating with. You could run this command on a regular basis and parse the text output.
You can call this command from .Net using System.Diagnostics.Process and parse the text output, e.g:
system.diagnostics.process.standardoutput.aspx
and combine with the SID: S-1-5-5-X-Y Name: Logon Session Description: A logon session. The X and Y values for these SIDs are different for each session.
Well-known security identifiers in Windows operating systems:

Hi @T.Zacks ,
As Castorix31 said, you can use the WTSEnumerateSessions and WTSQuerySessionInformation functions to retrieve this information.
And there are some code examples in the following threads you can refer to.
c# getting ip address of user who remotely connect to machine
Detect source of remote desktop connection
Preferred way Of getting Client name From Terminal Server Session

I cannot test for your particular case, but it should work with WTS Apis (P/Invoke), mainly
WTSEnumerateSessions
WTSQuerySessionInformation
This is the cleanest and most reliable way to get that information. You're not going to get the username that is logged on on the endpoint though.
