Reveal Users Using a File

I need to find out which users are currently using a file on a network
(so I can get them too close it). If there some tool or way anyone
knows to do this?

What are you talking about ?

"Shares" shows the each NT Share being shared and the properties to control and to set the
priveleges on it.

"Session" shows who's connected and how many open files that users has open.

"Open Files" shows the fully qualified name and path to a file being opened and the user
opening it.

If you mean you're trying to use your workstation to find out what files are
open on a server, you need to do that from the server, using that same tool.
That tool only inspects the local computer resources.

If that is the case, he can use...

%windir%\system32\compmgmt.msc

And connect to the remote system. This utility is a superset of File Server Management
utility capabilities I suggested and can do so remotely.

Hi Justin,

logon to the file-server, users are accessing files.

The command "net files" should show you accessed files by users. Try
"net files id /close" to close the files....may be the Tool can Hyena
help you...

Hope this helps
