Vista - Monitor share access

Hi

I've been looking for this, and would have thought it easy, but am still
empty handed.

On a small network I'd like to see when someone is accessing one of my
shares, almost all of which are readonly. All the machines use XP, and we
use simple file sharing.

Any help would be great

You can bind to a specific share ard retrieve the value of CurrentUserCount.
For example

Set objMyShare = GetObject("WinNT://MyComputer/LanmanServer/MyShare")
Wscript.Echo "Current users: " & objMyShare.CurrentUserCount

You can also display informaton on user sessions on the computer:

Set objServer = GetObject("WinNT://MyComputer/LanmanServer")
For Each objSession In objServer.Sessions
Wscript.Echo "Session: " & objSession.Name _
& vbCrLf & " User: " & objSesion.User _
& vbCrLf & " Computer: " & objSession.Computer _
& vbCrLf & " Connect Time: " & objSession.ConnectTime _
& vbCrLf & " Idle Time: " & objSession.IdleTime
Next

Finally, you can display information on open resources:

Set objServer = GetObject("WinNT://MyComputer/LanmanServer")
For Each objResource In objServer.Resources
Wscript.Echo "ResourceID: " & objResource.Name _
& vbCrLf & " Path: " & objResource.Path _
& vbCrLf & " User: " & objResource.User _
& vbCrLf & " Lock Count: " & objResource.LockCount
Next

You can play with the above to see if it gives you what you want. There is
nothing to trigger an alert when someone accesses resources on the computer.
You need to run a script to see if anything is happening at that moment.
