How do I view users connected to my IIS server?

[Gillbot]

I thought there was a way to do this but I've either forgotten or dreamed it up! (IIS in XP)

FTP or WWW? In FTP, just go to properties of the site, then view current sessions. As far as I know, you can't view current WWW sessions unless you check the logfiles...

www, darn!

With ASP pages you might be able to use session start / end scripts to update a file or page of IPs. You'd only need to make your main page .asp for this to work. This would definitely work for a "number of active users" count.

won't netstat show connections to my system?

and is there a way to force disconnects on users?

well if its anon IIS...u'll never know...
u can log everything in IIS...so u can get IPs...etc.
but thats as close to what u'll get unless u protect the page with
authentication. If u must know who gets in...
disable anon access, create user/pass for diff users...then
by viewing the logs u can tell who logged in...etc.

Hmmm, if you're running W2K Server you could use Network Monitor to look at the raw TCP/IP traffic and even peek at the HTTP requests. Not sure if you can install / run it on W2K / Xp Pro.

Performance monitor can do that. It ships with 2k/XP..

You could also use something like DU Meter just to monitor IN/OUT traffice.. just watching how much there is..
