Question:
How
can I tell what users are running an application?
Answer:
It is
often helpful to be able to determine what users are running an
application. This is especially important when installing updates
from Express Technology. Before installing an update, you
should insure that no one is using the program. You can check the
connected users and what applications they are running from windows by
using the following features of windows.
Note:
You must be on the computer where the application resides
(server). Also, the steps below are for Windows 2000 &
XP. They are slightly different under Windows NT.
From
the server, do the following:
-
Click
on Start / Settings / Control Panel.
-
Double
Click Administrative Tools.
-
Double
Click on Computer Management.
-
Open
System Tools / Shared Folders / Sessions.
Each
connected user will be displayed along with the application(s) they are
running. You can right click on an item and terminate the
session. However, this causes unpredictable results for the user
so it is best to ask them to exit. |
