How do I shadow a terminal session in Windows?
8:59 AM
Ever want to show someone your screen but
not want to go through the hassle of logging into a 3rd party tool and
then grant them access to view your session (i.e. WebEx or GoToMeeting)?
Well if you are on a Windows box you can use "shadowing". It
basically allows you to interact with another persons terminal session
in real time. All you need to do is the following:

- Get the session ID for the remote user in question by opening Task Manager and clicking on the Users tab; the session ID will be next to their login name
- From a command prompt or run box, type in
shadow "session ID Number"
Example - shadow 2
Example - shadow 2
- On the person's session who is being requested, a pop-up box will appear asking to allow the remote user to view your screen - Click OK
- If all works as expected, you will see the report persons screen and see what they are doing!
- To break out of the session, you can hit CTRL + *
