Creating a report/file of info about each LAN user

Why Trust Us

Question:
I’ve inherited responsibility for a NetWare 3.11 LAN with 200+ users. How can I create a report/file that will provide me detailed information regarding each user, which groups he/she belongs to, and which access privileges each user has?

Answer:
There is a particularly simple process I have used in the past to accomplish the task of documenting NetWare 3.x users. It works like this:

  1. Install a second temporary NetWare 4.X server; it can be a small five-user server.
  2. Install NDS on the new server and enable bindery services.
  3. Integrate the existing 3.x servers into the tree.
  4. Use the NLIST command to list the information you want to document.
