I'm looking for a utility pgm. that will display open files info (open files listing and who has them open, etc) either by single directory, or for an entire NT 4.0 server partition. Anyone?
THX!

Actually, you find the answers in native windows operation system. If you are question who are opening a single file, run "winfile.exe" in command prompt, select the particular file and then "File" -> "Property" -> "Open By", you can view a list ofusername who is opening the file.

If you want to list who open a share directory or even a whole partition, open "srvmgr.exe" (Server Manager) can list that request. Double-click the server and either select "Shares" or "In Use" button you cando the job.

Hope it does help.

To all:
Yes, I am familar with the native NT tools. But Winfile only does 1 file at a time & the SRVMGR is too cumbersome to use to see open files for anentire dir/server as we have thousands of files open. I'm looking for a utility pgm that willlist sortable) all open files and who has them open,etc. THX!

Still looking for utility to show all open files in all of a server's partitions with user determined multiple sort order. Are there any? Again I'm aware of winfile and svrmgr methods.
