Terminal Services Manager uses mstsc for user shadowing.

Windows 2012 R2 (Windows 8.1 - Windows 10) and Windows 2008 (Windows 7) support shadowing but you can't shadow a user on Windows 2012 R2 (Windows 8.1 -Windows10) from Windows 2008 (Windows 7) and vice versa

It means that Winnows 2012 (Win10) Terminal Client doesn't support shadowing for user on Win2008.

You may shadow user on Windows2008 at same way as tsadmin on Windows 2008, Please run TSM in remote session on Windows 2008 (Windows 7) and use command shadow In this case TSM is using “remote control” feature of RDP 6 (7)

Terminal Services Manager uses WTS API, but utilizes Perfmon counters for monitoring CPU usage and Available Memory. If you have empty value for CPU usage and Available Memory, but the rest of your data is stable, then it is likely there is an issue with Perfmon on the monitored server.

To troubleshoot this issue please read the following article: "Troubleshooting monitoring issues for performance counters"

 Please change the policy settings according this article

or check Prompt for user consent setting on Shadow window

For log analysis you may use Remote Desktop Audit.

CPU usage is average value and may be different in different software, because it depends on the length of time of measurement values as shown in the picture

It is plain text file with one IP address or name per line.
