With the push to save money and save AC power in the data center, my company has the need to find Windows (various OS - windows 2000, 2003 mainly) servers that are not being used much. I have found some great logparser 'forensics' type scripts to enumerate last used registry keys, last saves, last RDP sessions, etc. What are some other methods that can be used to 'separate the wheat from the chaff' when it comes to enterprise server usage by development groups, users, etc. The concentration here would be mainly application role servers rather than file servers. So it is possible that if an IIS site is up, there may be the need to track site usage from logs. What are some other items to investigate and enumerate. Any suggstions to automate/script for a large number of servers would be most welcome. Thanks in advance.
