I have a windows 7 machine which I used as a print server and also accessing software installation media for installing. what is the best way to disconnect a session and how do I know how many session are currently on the machine.
TIA
Right click Computer and Manage. Expand "Shared Folders" and there is the Sessions.
I fail to remember that you can connect to other PCs from there :)
Another method would be, especially if you have more than 1 PC to administer:
- Win+R, then, mmc
- File - Add/Remove Snap-in
- Scroll down and select "Shared Folders" - Add
- Select Local COmputer for the PC you are physically using - Finish
- Add another snap-in - shared folders - select "Another Computer" - browse or name or IP
- Add
- Save the console to where you want
Most of the file servers that I work with have no monitor/keyboard/mouse (i.e. headless).
So, remote connections for most everything.
Configuring/Saving the console is a good idea.
Walking all the way to the servers would be a waste of time as well, even though a good exercise, everytime even if they had monitors etc. And most likely they are in a protected/restricted area.
Custom console windows are the best.
