Where do I see what user is connected

I am trying to see under what name I am connected to my 2003 server.

Where in the 2003 Server can I look to see who is connected to the server?
I want to know how they got there - what logon they used.

Thanks,

Tom

the workstation from were is initiated the connection
in computer management->shared folders->sessions wich user is conected on
file server (map a drive, access network files) from what workstation
routing and remote access +event viewer what remote users are connected and
from where

What if you don't have Terminal Server running on your machine?

I am just doing a VPN connection to my network through my firewall or via
Windows Explorer either by Mapping or by entering \\ComputerName\share.

For your VPN you can see who's connected in the routing and remote
access mmc. To see who's logged into the domain someone once suggested
the limitlogon utility which is actually designed for something else
but will tell you who's logged into your domain. You can access a
download and read a description here -->

I have about 35 entries in my Administrative Tools Menu but I don't have
routing and remote access mmc. Where do I get that?

I tried that with:

Net Session \\mars153

I get the following message:

A session does not exist with that computer name.

This is a valid computer on our network.

I might try that but then isn't that a security problem?

If you are using Window's VPN server it must have the routing and
remote access MMC but if for some reason you can't find that MMC you
can add it as a snap-in to either an existing MMC or just type MMC at a
command prompt then in the MMC that comes up select Console then
add/remove snap-in. In the standalone tab select the add button, find
the routing and remote access snap-in and add it. Remember that this
snap-in should be available on the server that is acting as the VPN
server.

The problem is I am not using Microsoft VPN Server. I am using the VPN from
my Firewall.
