Hello,

once ago, we planned to write a script which will scan the activity log and
look for ANR0406I Session xxxx started for node yyyy.

Each scheduled node have to start a session every n hours, at least, if n is
the nb. of hours between client contact for the scheduler (parameter you can
change).

In the mean time, we installed Sitescope, a tool for managing NT servers.

Regards,
