Re: How do I see users that logged in ?



Michel,

thx for the right definition of "logged on"

- Sessions shows only users connected via shares, like you said.
- nbtstat -n does NOT show the currently logged on users. Even W2k users
aren't shown.
- I know W98 machines should be migrated, but there are to many hindrances:
20 machines
* Cost
* New hardware
* Complete software re-installations
* Some programs are not compatible with XP
So we decided to replace machines when needed, not because of the server-OS.

At the moment, I have so many questions and find so many annoying things in
2003.
I want do some things I can do with Novell, and can't figure out how to do
it.
I can't understand why Microsoft doesn't learn things from Novell.
example.

1) I have 1 main directory X with thousands of subdirectories.
Each subdirectory contains sub-subdirectories like administration, drawings,
letters, calculations,... these sub-subdirectories can only be accessed by
the proper group(s).
Only the administrator can make the subdirs & sub-subdirs and grant the
proper rights. (using a batch-file )
Everyone may only SEE, read, write, delete files from the directories where
they have the proper rights,
They can't MOVE or delete the subdirs, and sub-subdirs except the
sub-sub-subdirs they made themself

Well, I can't figure out how to accomplish this with Windows.

2) In Novell you don't SEE the directories where you don't have rights.
I know you can use the $ to share in windows, but that's not an option. You
still can browse to it if you know the name (which is easy)

3) Why not having only 1 tool to install on all clients (whatever Windows
version they use) to log on to a server or domain.

4) Can you log on to the server as user X and log on localy as user Y ???
Some programs need localy administration-rights to work.

I know Windows server will also have advantages on Netware, but they are
hard to find.
