Shadow

Enables you to remotely control an active session of another user.

Syntax

shadow {SessionName | SessionID} [/server:ServerName] [/v]


Parameters

SessionName

The name of the session you want to remotely control.

SessionID

The ID of the session you want to remotely control. Use query user to display the list of sessions and their session IDs.

/server:ServerName

Specifies the terminal server containing the session you want to remotely control. By default, the current terminal server is used.

/v

Displays additional information.

/?

Displays help at the command prompt.


Remarks

You can either view or actively control the session. If you choose to actively control a user's session, you will be able to input keyboard and mouse actions to the session.

You can always remotely control your own sessions (except the current session), but you must have Full Control access permission to remotely control another session.

You should reset a session only when it malfunctions or appears to have stopped responding.

The /server parameter is required only if you use reset session from a remote server.
