I need to track a users usage (primarily logon\logoff and session length) of
Terminal Services. Is there a log of some sort?
 
You can log logon/logoff events to the security event logs.

I have enabled successful and failure notifications for all logon/logoffs,
but it does not seem to record the logons to Terminal Services.

How did you turn on the events? GPO or local policies? If gpo, are you
sure the gpo has applied?

If using 2003 TS, each TS will record logon & logoff events in the local
security event log.

Have you tried using Advanced Security Settings for RDP-Tcp? Run Tscc.msc,
goto connections->RDP-Tcp->Permissions->Advanced button, then click on the
Auditing tab.

Thanks
