it. Network paths are used in dialog boxes and in commands typed at the
MSDOS prompt. When you type a network path at the MS-DOS prompt,
precede the computername by two backslashes (\\), and precede the
sharename by one backslash (\).
For example, \\SALES\REPORTS specifies the network path for the
REPORTS shared directory on the \\SALES server.
For UNIX servers only, computernames for servers end with the suffix
.SERVE. Therefore, computernames are in the form of
computername.SERVE, where computername is the name of the UNIX
system computer that is running the LAN Manager server software.
Throughout this document, servernames and computernames are used
interchangeably.
Viewing Users on the Network
You can view a list of users whose workstations are connected to a particular
LAN Manager server that is running the Netlogon service or who are logged
on in a particular LAN Manager domain. Otherwise, you can only view
users on LAN Manager domain controllers that are running the Netlogon
service.
To view information about users connected to a server
1 Set the current focus on the server that has the users you want to view.
2 From the View menu, choose Users on a server.
The Current Users on Server \\computername dialog box appears.
For each user with a connection to the server you specified, the Current Users on
Server \\computername dialog box lists the username, the computername of the
workstation where the user is logged on, the length of time elapsed since the
connection was established, and the user’s full name.
If the Netlogon service is not running on the server of focus, you see an error
message.

choose the Zoom button.
