I have 3 application servers which use IIS and supposibly it is load balanced, and i'm wanting to see how many users are connected to each application server (to double check that the load balancer thing is working)

Is there any way to show the current amount of user's connected via IIS to each application server?

performance monitor

Ooh, I'd love to know how to find this out programatically. A cookie to anyone that knows!

any specifics?

I tried adding the web service counter -> current anonymous users
but the line seems to be flat (which is incorrect, because i know for sure there are ppl using it at the time)

that's the right counter

ignoring the flat line for a sec, what do the numbers below the graph report when you highlight that counter?

did you see the same thing on all 3 servers? remember that if you want to check whether or not the load balancer is working, it means you're entertaining the idea that it mightn't be, therefore you'd need to check all 3 servers as maybe only one is getting any users

dunno if this is what you are looking for trog

WMI Trogj0r!

Performance counters will also tell you, make sure your users aren't authenticating if you are only monitoring current anonymous users, otherwise you won't have much information.
