Importing a user list into Netrware

Locked

Here’s the senario:

I have a text file with approx. 900 names and passwords, I’d like to import them into Netware 4. Is there a way I can create a template of a user that has the “Create Home Directory” boxed checked, then force this list through it, thereby creating each individual user with a Home directory. I also have available to me Netware 5.1, just not set up yet.
Any help appreciated.

you can use uimport to create the users and to create the home directories.
in your control file add the command
CREATE HOME DIRECTORY=Y

look at this site for more info on this:

I havn’t had much luck with U-import. I used a utility that a co-worker wrote that will go through a text file and create users. Although, at this point it does not allow you to specify passwords. Also, I have only used it on NetWare 5.x. If youare interested in using it email me and I will sent it to you. Or, if you are looking for something more advanced try looking at: http://www.enmasse.com

It looks like they have a program called Mass User Management for NDS which looks like it would do what you want.
