SBS 2008 - where is files in use and shares in use?

[Martin]

Hi,

Just installed SBS2008. In 2000/2003 (and XP) if I want to manage, shared
folders it would show me shares, sessions and open files.

is there an equivalent in SBS 2008?

cheers

Easy
Open SBS manager
and Open Folders
and you can Add Shared folders there.
I can't remember if it shows sessions.
I'll have to get back to you on that.

Unlike SBS 2003, you'll find some things more quickly using native tools.

The Windows SBS Native Tools Management link gives a similar view to SBS
2003 admin console. There you have Computer management | Shared Folders >
shares, sessions and open files, as well as a lot of other things you'll
recognize.

I don't think so. But perhaps there are easier ways than described
below:

Right-click Computer.
Select Manage. This will launch the Windows 2008 Server Manager.
In the Console Tree (left pane), select Roles, File Service.
The Work Pane/Result Pane (in the middle) will show all shares.
In the Actions Pane (to the right), you have several options:
Mange Sessions, Manage Open Files.

If you need to do such thing often,
run mmc from the Start Menu or a Console.
Add either the Folder or Share and Storage Management snap-in to your
Microsoft Management Console and save it.
