The modern Event Viewer application that you get on all versions of Windows since Vista is so much slower the previous version that was on Server 2003 and XP. I know there is much more functionality in the newer version but most of the time I just want to quickly scan the various different event logs as quickly as possible. How can I get the the old version back?
The Determine Users Accessing a Shared Folder Using PowerShell question has a good answer. Continuing on from that How do you disconnect the users accessing the share using a powershell script.
There is a Windows command line utility called OpenFiles but I'd prefer a PowerShell / WMI solution.
