SUMMARY
The SHADOW function is not built into version 4 of the Terminal Server and
Terminal Server client. The SHADOW utility is included for use if Citrix
Metaframe and the Citrix ICA client are used with Terminal Server, which
allows shadowing.
Shadow allows you to monitor a session of another user. All information
displayed on the computer of the session you are shadowing also appears on
your computer.
Syntax
shadow sessionname [/server:servername] [/v] [/?]
shadow sessionID [/server:servername] [/v] [/?]
Parameters
sessionname
Identifies the name of the session. The name was created by the system
administrator when the session was configured.
sessionID
Specifies the ID of the session you want to shadow. Use query user to
get a list of sessions and their IDs.
/server:servername
Specifies the Terminal Server to use. Otherwise, the current Terminal
Server is used.
/v (verbose)
Displays information about the actions being performed.
/? (help)
Displays the syntax for this command and information about the command's
options.
Security Restrictions
You must have Shadow access permission for the session you want to shadow.
SHADOW -- Additional Notes
Before shadowing begins, the server warns the user that the session will be
shadowed and allows the user to confirm or deny shadowing, unless this
warning is disabled. Use Terminal Server Connection Configuration and User
Manager for Domains to configure shadowing for users and sessions. The
shadowing session must be capable of supporting the video resolution used
at the shadowed session. Otherwise, the operation fails. You cannot shadow
the system console from another session, and you cannot shadow other
sessions from the system console. Press CTRL+* (or whatever hotkey you
define) to terminate shadowing..

NOTE: Shadowing is not currently supported with the Windows Terminal Server
4.0 client. To use the Shadow function, you must use the Citrix ICA Client
and the Terminal Server add-on from Citrix called Metaframe. If you attempt
to shadow a session without the ICA Client and Metaframe, you will receive
the following error:
Shadow failed. Error code 50. Error [50]: The network request is not
supported.
