Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

To respond to an operator request

Open Removable Storage.
On the View menu, click Full, and in the console tree, click Operator Requests.
In the details pane, right-click the applicable request, and then do one of the following:
- To complete the request, click Complete, and then perform the action when prompted.
- To cancel the request, click Refuse.

Notes

To complete this procedure, you need the appropriate administrative credentials for the affected Removable Storage item. To maintain system security, rather than logging in as an administrator, log in as a user without administrative credentials, and run Removable Storage as an administrator by right-clicking the Computer Management icon, clicking Run As, and choosing an account in the local Administrators group.
To open Removable Storage, click Start and then click Control Panel. Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer Management. In the console tree, double-click Storage and then click Removable Storage.
Removable Storage stores operator requests for approximately 72 hours after they have been completed or cancelled.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
