Sharepoint on 2K3 SBS - how to tell if users are connected

[nevermore7777]

We have a Win2k3 small business server in our DMZ being used for a group to access Sharepoint from the outside world. We are trying to figure out a way to tell if users are connected in Sharepoint in case we have to reboot the server. When a user is connected none of the shares show any users. Any ideas?

Hello,

As far as I know there is no "out-of-the-box" feature that show online users. There is a webpart called "members" where you can see the members of a sharepoint site and might be able to show in some way who are online, but not sure if it even does that.

I have been looking for the same feature and yet I have not come up with a good and easy way.

Regards,
Thomas

Yeah, the "Members" webpart will do this but that doesn't show that they are actually on the SharePoint site, only that they are logged into Windows Messenger, MSN Messenger, Passport, etc...whatever M$ is calling it now...

That is what I am really beginning to love about SBS 2k3. Its supposed to be so great, but when it comes to monitoring and other little things like having users change their own passwords (from the outside) and all that... it just makes you shake your head...

Hopefully, someone will have an idea...
