Hi all,
We're running Novell on the network with almost all Win2K clients now. I have an issue where our customer service reps need to be able to log onto each other's Win2K boxes, however they all need to have user accounts created on each box. That means about 64 user accounts I need to create for 8 reps.

I've noticed that you can export a user list from the Computer Management Console in Win2K, thinking that I could import the list into each cpu, but I could not find an import option, only export. Additionaly, I thought I could just replace the user list with the master user list, but I don't know where that would be stored, even if I could copy over it.

Any suggestions besides setting up a MS domain controller with active directory.

Greetings,

I ran across a utility that claims to automate the user creation process just as you described. It's called, "UserManagemeNT Lite". (There's also a UserManagement Professional, but the lite is free.)

Cut and paste this link. (REMOVESPACES if they snuck into the pasted URL.)

That is a description and download page.

You dont need to set up the accounts, the novell client for w2000 does this for you.
All the reps have to do is logon to the novell network, and their local w2000 account will be created.
The novell client has administrator rights, so it is able to do this.
Good luck

Ron.

this also didn't resolve it. the novell client for win2k didn't create the accounts automatically.
