Multiple Active Console Connections

[TimothyGaray]

Sometimes when I open a console to a VM, I will get that yellow alert bar that says there are now 2 (or more) active connections to that same console.

Is there a way to tell who has consoles open to VMs?

Not that I have found, but if you check open sessions for the entire VC, that may give you a clue.. if you cross that with who has access, it may help narrow the list.

also opening a notepad in the session and typing "who is on this machine" may garner a response . . . .

Also you may open the session twice inadvertently, if you use the "console" tab, and then open a console by right clicking that's 2 consoles open...

You could take a look at the Events under the 'Tasks and Events' tab of the virtual machine to see who opened a remote console connection to the VM.

Wonderful! That works quite well.

Thanks a bunch!
