User sessions and open files

You can monitor connected user sessions and open files on your FSx for Windows File Server file system using the Shared Folders tool. The Shared Folders tool provides a central location to monitor who is connected to the file system, along with what files are open and by whom. You can use this tool to do the following:

  • Restore access to locked files.

  • Disconnect a user session, which closes all files opened by that user.

You can use the Windows-native Shared Folders GUI tool and the Amazon FSx CLI for remote management on PowerShell to manage user sessions and open files on your FSx for Windows File Server file system.
