super script?

Not too long ago, over at the VAMC Hospital, we converted the network from Novel 4.0 to NT 4.0. With 1200 clients and a lack of rights from the main VA HQ, we looked at several different software?s to create all of the users, home dirs, etc. etc. I found several companies that made such software, but the were costly and very inefficient. We instead used the NT utils and made a super BAT file. The utils we used included Net user and cacls for the major work. I wrote it in excel and word to re-make the users rites from the Novell server to the NT server. As long as you have admin privileges or run it as the admin, it works just fine.
Hope this works.

To create doman users have you tried ADDUSERS? For quota limits we keep the user accounts on a separate partition to the operating system but thats as far as it goes. Unless you mean profile quota, you can limit this through the system policy. Hope this is of some use, sorry I cannot help you with the rest.

I had infact thought of writing a batch to do the job but, i couldn't find any means via DOS utilities to set up an outlook account. Its starting to sound like a job for perl but I would hate to go through all of that effort if i dont have to :)...just lazy i guess.

The other thing you can do is to set up a template user.

Set up Template_User with a default group placement, a home directory of \\FILESERVER\HOME\%username% , etc. Then you can create a new user using the Copy menu command, but copying Template_User to a new userid, and just adjust what you need to change for that user.

If you're using Exchange, the user's account will be set up automatically. You can set global e-mail quotas in Exchange, but I'm not sure if that is what you're talking about.

Hope it helps,
Don
