The User History report is used to track who has logged in to a computer, when they logged in and out, and how they accessed the computer. The client stores 30 days of accumulated data, so the requested time can't be more than the last 30 days. The report shows the following information:

• computer name
• user's short name
• access type (login window, tty, SSH)
• login time
• logout time
• remote login host (originating host to the login session:  localhost, or some remote computer)

Note: Multiple users logged in via Fast User Switching can lead to confusing or conflicting reports. When a second or third user logs in to a computer, there is no way of knowing which user is the active user. Session length may not reflect actual usage, and login and logout times overlap.

User History report information is collected by default if you are installing Remote Desktop for the first time. If you have upgraded an older version of Remote Desktop, you need to enable its collection explicitly in the clients' reporting policy. See Setting the Client's Data Reporting Policy for instructions.
