Understanding Concurrent Signon Information

In some situations, it is necessary to be able to track and monitor the number of users that sign on to the system concurrently. For example, if your site has implemented a cost-per-user access agreement, system administrators need a method to determine usage, and to ensure compliance with any service-level agreements. The Performance Monitor enables you to capture and store concurrent user information and display a graphical view of the number of users signed on to your system at a given time. The concurrent sign-in information is extracted from existing Performance Monitor user sign-in information, summarized, and stored separately for concurrent sign-in monitoring.
