What does shadow /V actually do?
According to shadow
:
C:\Users\mark.henderson>shadow /?
Monitor another Remote Desktop Services session.
SHADOW {sessionname | sessionid} [/SERVER:servername] [/V]
sessionname Identifies the session with name sessionname.
sessionid Identifies the session with ID sessionid.
/SERVER:servername The server containing the session (default is current).
/V Display information about actions being performed.
/V
is meant to Display information about actions being performed.
But for the life of me, I cannot get this flag to do anything. Technet is no more helpful than the above text; and neither is google.
Performing, say shadow 3 /server:myts1.example.com /V
just shadows the account normally.
The description seems a bit off.
The correct command is:
shadow /V [n]
Where [n] is actually a session number.
shadow /V 1
The above would remotely connect you to a session 1. The session number can be found under the User tabs from Task Manager.
A prompt would appear on the session and request the user to either accept or decline the remote control.
