| | Monitoring connections to network shares Hi all I need to monitor connections to network shares on a server. We are migrating to a new domain (company merger) and there are potentially a lot of scripts, scheduled tasks, and applications which are reading or writing on network shares. So, I need to be able to enumerate some useful information about network share connections to each server's shared folders. Any information is better than none, but ideally I need to know what share is being connected to, and I would like client name and username if possible. I have done some hunting but cannot find anything. I would imagine there would be an API or WMI call that would enumerate all shares on a given server, and then I could loop through each share and output current connections to a log file or similar. Thanks in advance for any help offered. - Jeremy |
