Hi
Is there a way for me to see what users are
connected to my WIN2000 server?
And can I send them a message to log off when I want to shutdown the server?

Thanks

Hi
This one is easy
to see who is connect onto your server open a dos session and type instruction "NET SESSION" this will show you computer , user of who's connected

to send everyone connected a message do from a dos session

"NET SEND * BODY OF MESSAGE"
where BODY OF MESSAGE IS THE MESSAGE YOU WANTED TO SEND.

Hi,

Yes, you can view active connection and open shares/files from the Computer Management Console.
Path = Start, Settings, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management.
On the left panel, select Shared Folder. You will see three sub-option. Shares, Sessions, and Open Files. Sessions will provide all current connections. Open Files will show you which connection has file(s) open.

Hope this help...

Hi
Most of the clients are WIN98. Is there a way
to message them? I tried "net send" from the DOS
prompt, but this only worked for the 2000 clients
