To view who is connected remotely to a Windows machine, and from which client, you would use which command?

• A. Net share
• B. Net file
• C. Net config
• D. Net sessions

Answer: (D)

The command to view who is connected remotely to the machine and from which client is net sessions. This command lists each active session on the local computer, showing the remote client computer name and the user account that has logged in, along with the session duration. It’s a direct way to see current remote connections, which users are tied to which machines, and when those sessions started. You typically need administrative privileges for this, and the Server service must be running on the host.

Net share shows what resources are being shared from the machine, not who is connected to them. Net file lists open files on shared resources, which can reveal some activity but not the full set of active sessions. Net config displays configuration information for the networking services, not the current connections.
