Not really possible with IIS by default because there is no definition
of "session" and "user" in HTTP. HTTP is stateless.

Tools which add state can be added to IIS to allow measurement of
"session" and "user" generically, regardless of application platform.

Application Platforms like ASP, ASP.Net, etc may have their own
counters to measure "sessions" and "users" because they are stateful.

Using perfmon you could add counters from the performance object 'Active
Server Pages'. From there you can grab 'Requests/Sec' and things like
'Session Current' and 'Sessions Total'. From the performance object 'Web
Service' you can add the counters 'Current Connections' and 'Total Method
Requests/sec'.

Whats stateful vs stateless ?

I know we use ASP as I have been monitoring an ASP related object in
perfmon.

It sounds like a naive question. I am just learning how to manage IIS
Servers and I dont know anything about web programming too..

IIS Status (Freeware)

You could use this to monitor the requests realtime.

If you need more stats
