How many total users can access shares on a PC or Server named X

[Guest Christopher Aide]

Hi all,

 

I have a Win2k-Professional PC with a share that is kind of popular in

our company. Often people try to connect, but cant, cause the maximum

user/share -connection is reached.

 

2-Questions:

------------

1) Is there a tool I could use on the following platforms:

Win2k/WinXP/Server2003 etc. that would tell me the

total possible connections, and how many of them are

beeing used?

2) Whats the max. share connection for Win2k, Winxp -Professional?

 

 

Thanks in advance

 

Chris

Win2K Pro and XP Pro, maximum connections is 10, BUT a single PC may

make more than one connection.

For the latter your limit is the machine resources and number of licenses.

Hi all,

 

thanks for the answers! - Just this one still missing: What

possibilities do I have to VIEW how many more people can connect- or how

many of the available licenses are currently in use?

 

How/where do I view this???

 

TIA

Chris

From a command prompt;

net sess

net files

 

Control Panel|Administrative Tools|Computer Management(local)\System

Tools\Shared Folders\Sessions, Open Files
