See who's logged on

[GlenJohnson]

I found out about this freeware which allows you to see show is logged onto a pc or server. Go to

http://sysinternals.com

and under Windows NT/2K/XP click on utilities. There is a suite of pstools called PsTool v1.6. You have the option of downloading the entire suite or just the options you want. PsLoggedOn is the utility that will tell you who is logged on. VERY NICE for a freebie. Enjoy.

Nice command line tool. You can also right click on my computer and select manage. Under system tools select shared folders and then sessions. This will give you the same info using a GUI.

I don't think manage will give you the same info. That will only give you who's logged onto shared folders and open shares. That's one of the drawbacks of the manage tool. Glen A. Johnson

The shared folders area under computer management lets you look at three different areas. Shares shows you the available shares on a pc. Sessions gives you the same info that you get from psloggedon.exe. Open files shows you who has what open.

True, but not who's logged on to the server. That's what we've needed. I've got one server that shows 60 people with open shares, and I know for a fact that over 200 people are logged on, and psloggedon show a whole lot more. Glen A. Johnson
