A NetWare server is not like *NIX, MS Term Server or Citrix. Users
don't have 'sessions' to view.

Under NetWare you can monitor user connections using the MONITOR.NLM
utility which will display their network address, length of time logged
in, read & write stats as well as any currently open files on the
server. This is limited however to File services. To monitor other
services such as GroupWise, BorderManager, Web etc you need to use tools
for those applications to monitor usage (same limitations as viewing
current sessions & open files in Windows Server Manager).

If you need to remote control their PC look at VNC or similar.

Alternatively, you could install ZenWorks; this would allow you to
view the actual workstation screen and see exactly what they are
doing.

Actually looking back at Moshes' original post, I'd agree ZENworks for
Desktops would be best assuming his workstations have only IPX bound,
but if IP is on the workstations as well, I'd say installing ZfD for
remote control only is a bit of overkill.

I'd agree with your assessment Steve. Here's yet another thought, and
probably even better for him...NW Small Business Suite. 25 users out
of the box, he gets ZenWorks 3.2 free as well as GroupWise, and
BorderManager. And if he contacts an Authorzed Partner or Reseller
(like m'self ) he can get the whole $1600 package for FREE - all
he has to pay for is the installation by the authorized partner!

A great deal all the way around. I just received my pack and I'm
going to promote the daylights out of it. Oh, I guess I just
did...

Yeah, I'm a CNS too... waiting for NSBS Starter Pack v6.5 to come out
which shouldn't be too long seeing as NSBS 6.5 was released recently.
