I'd like to know what system tools, etc., to use in the detection of all
connections to a Windows Server 2003 machine.

I already know to look here:
1) Administrative Tools -->
Terminal Services Manger

2) Compuer Management -->
System Tools -->
Shared Folders

3)Microsoft SQL Servers-->
(local) -->
Management -->
Current Activity


Where else might I look to find any other connections to Windows Server
2003?

Much thanks,
Jim

from the command line, run:

netstat -ano

This will list all open TCP/UDP connections mapped to the connected host,
and mapped to the process. If you'd like a graphical view, download TCPView
from sysinternals and you'll see every open TCP/UDP connection to your host.

Thanks, Chris.

"netstat -ano" and TCPView should take care of my connection detection
issue!

Also consider looking in the security logs for logon events for users that
have authenticated or attempted to be authenticated to your computer. Use
Local Security Policy [secpol.msc] to make sure that auditing of logon
events is enabled for success and failure and be sure to increase the size
of the security log to at least 20MB as it is very small by default. ---
