count no of users

In a dosprompt (or command prompt) on a worksatation, use NLIST.

nlist user

The problem is that this only shows the user objects in your context. So, to overcome that, you should change context, and browse all subcontainers from the root:

cx [Root]
nlist user /s

This will give you a page-per-page view. If you want to use it in a batch-file for example, add "/c" (for "continuous").

You can look for other object types as well (Organizational Unit, Group, Volume, Print Queue, whatever), or all of them (*).
