RulenameMultiple RDP connections from Single System
DescriptionIdentifies when an RDP connection is made to multiple systems and above the normal connection count for the previous 7 days.

Connections from the same system with the same account within the same day.

RDP connections are indicated by the EventID 4624 with LogonType = 10
