Hello, I have a Win2k3 terminal server. &nbsp;My previous experience working with these was that in the shared folders snap-in you could see open files and sessions and close them if needed for administrative purposes. &nbsp;Recently, I did some maintenance on this box and needed to do a reboot. &nbsp;While there were one or two connections listed in the terminal sessions manager, no files where listed as open or sessions listed as active in the shared folders snap in. &nbsp;Thinking nothing was open I had rebooted the server, but it appears one individual was working and lost data. &nbsp;I am wondering if I am missing something in the display here? &nbsp;Is there another way to see open files in a terminal server? Is the reason I am not seeing any openfiles because they may have been part of a windows local profile and not on a server share per se?<br />

Thanks!

Terminal server not displaying open files and sessions

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

Microsoft Server OS

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
