IAS Accounting Clients Object

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

The IAS Accounting Clients performance object is installed by the Internet Authentication Service (IAS). IAS uses the Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) protocol to perform remote authentication. IAS performance objects report activity for servers or clients, including user authentication, authorization, and accounting (usage).

When selecting counters for this object, note that each client is a separate instance.
