Question

Is it possible to list the users that are currently connected a Hyper-V VM?

Ex: You add people to Hyper-V admin list and someone connects to a VM reomotely. Is there a way to see which users are connected to which machines?

It depends on how the user connects.

If the user is using the Hyper-V VM console connection, only one connection is allowed (the same with the SCVMM VM Console).

If the user is connected directly using RDP, then the OS in the VM knows.  Actually the OS in the VM always knows who the current logged on users are.  And the TS modules you have been pointed to have those answers.

Does Hyper-V know who is connected?  Nope.  It does not track that.  It simply provides the connection.
