Answer 1

There is no straightforward way to see this in the AWS console, but in the case of Windows instances, one way of doing this is by:

1. Log into one of the instances that is connected to the Active Directory
2. Use the Shared Folders tool( fsmgmt.msc ).You need a user in the domain admin group, and then you
3. Connect to the DNS name of the FSx file system, for example: fs-9498985948485.ad-domain.com You can then see the connected sessions (User, Computer)
