HOW TO: View and End User Sessions in Exchange 2000 Server

A user session is started each time that a user connects to a virtual server. The session lasts for the duration of the user's connection. By viewing the current session, you can monitor server load. If an unauthorized user is connecting to a virtual server, you can terminate that user's session.
