Server 2016 Users

How can I see who is accessing shares on Server 2016?
I don’t have active directory setup yet, I’m just sharing a volume and have set up users.
I want to see what users have connected.

Let me rephrase this… How do I tell who is logged into the server with out an active directory?

You might be able to get some information from computer management:

Also check event viewer for event ID 4656 and 4663:

Just adding to Paul’s reply.

When clicking on Sessions (1) on the left pane you will see the network users that are accessing your files, and how many files each of them opened (2).

Really useful in case you need to reboot the server and need to know which users are “connected” to files and working on them.
