  Do you mean the number of sessions connected to a RDS server? The following counters are available in Terminal Services group. You may ask in RDS/TS forum for more.

  
  Terminal Services\Active Sessions
  Terminal Services\Inactive Sessions
  Terminal Services\Total Sessions

  Hi Cheers,

  I am not looking at Terminal Services connections. I am looking for connectivites such as file share access and open files through network share access.

  Basically, I need to count the

  • number of users connected to shared folders on a servers
  • how many files are opened through a network share.

  thank you

  By running typeperf.exe –q, you can view all the counters available on your server, but I don’t see one for share folder connection. You can use the Share and Storage management MMC to view and manage the sessions, though it’s not statistical.
