Who has a file open?

[MasterRacker]

I am using NT4.0 servers.&nbsp;&nbsp;I used to manage them from a NT 4.0 workstation.&nbsp;&nbsp;If I needed to see who had a file open on a server, I could use the old Windows File Manager (winfile.exe) to navigate to the file, select it, and click File&gt;Properties&gt;Open By to see who had it open.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>I am now using a full install of Win 2K and I no longer have the File Mangler.&nbsp;&nbsp;Does anyone know of a GUI based method to see who has a file open on a server?&nbsp;&nbsp;Server Manager is unacceptable, because it shows everything and the full path cannot be displayed.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have a batch file called Whoopened.bat I downloaded and adapted from <A HREF="

but to use that you need to type in the full path to the file <i>using the server's physical drive letters and folder names.</i> It doesn't work through shares,mapped drives, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;A GUI tool would be better. <p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Of all the things I've lost in life, I miss my mind the most ...

Gotta love mmc.<br>Microsoft Management Console has a snap-in for managing Local & Remote machines.<br>-Start, Run, mmc.exe&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-or browse to C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32<br>-Under the Console menu, select Add/Remove Snap-In<br>-Add, Computer Management<br>-Type in the name of the server you want to manage.<br><br>When all is said and done, you get a neat little set of tools for your network.&nbsp;&nbsp;Much better than NT, I must say.<br><br>Shares and Sessions are under System Tools, Shared Folders<br><br>Enjoy!

Still lists everything open on the server, but it's a readable list.&nbsp;&nbsp;Works for me. <p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Of all the things I've lost in life, I miss my mind the most ...
