-
- 1.0 About AN
- ---------------------
- AN makes Network handling and -documentation more efficient.
- You can view all valid Bindery-Data in only one view.
- Print out a single user or your whole network environment with
- one command.
- Some special functions support you to get the last out of Netware.
-
- 1.1 Technical
- ---------------------
- AN uses the File Server-Bindery where all Objects and their Properties
- are stored (Users, Queues, Servers, Accounts, X-Ref' Tables ...).
- It enables you to do special things by manipulating properties you
- normaly haven't access to.
- It also gets the Login-Scrips related to the users Object-ID.
-
- 2.0 Getting started
- ----------------------
- FIRST : Login to at least one File-Server with Supervisor-Privileges !
-
- Start AN and choose OBJECTS from the main-menu.
- Select the kind of object you want to get informed about.
- If there are any objects of this type you will get a Pick-List, where you
- can pick the entry you are interested in.
- The information-screen (at the lower right) is updated as you are moving
- through the list. It gives you all information known about the highlighted
- object.
- You can select an entry by moving through the list with the cursor or by
- typing the name of the entry (char by char).
-
- 2.1 Printing
- -----------------------
- To print a single Object's data select one out of the Pick-List and press
- Print-Key F9. To print all Objects of a type (Users, Groups) select the
- Object-Type and press F9.
- Select 'ALL' to print the whole environment of your server.
-
-
- 2.2 Select default server (Multiple Server Version only !)
- ---------------------------
- If you have more than one fileserver you can switch between by picking
- one out of the 'attached servers-list'. The actual server is shown in
- the header.
- If the desired server isn't attached choose 'ATTACH' and attach to it.
-
- 2.3 Reset accounts
- -----------------------
- If you are using accounting for statistical reason, here you can set all
- accounts (User & Printserver) to zero.
- ONLY use this function if you just started AN and logged into the desired
- server before. Do not try this function after you used the
- 'Change Server'- Function ! This will make the Program crash !
-
- 2.4 SYSCON/PCONSOLE
- -----------------------
- You can use AN as Management-Tool. To edit the shown data it has the
- ability to invoke SYSCON and PCONSOLE from the main-menu.
-
- 2.5 Copy Files -> User
- -----------------------
- This Function enables you to copy a file to several user's home directory.
- Select this Function. You will get a File-Selector-Box of your current
- directory. Choose the file you want to copy and press RETURN.
- Mark the users you want the file copied to with SPACE (a SQRT will mark
- the selected entry). Then press ENTER to start Copying or ESC to leave the
- function.
-
- 2.6 Queue Activity
- ------------------------
- This Utility shows printqueue-activity and -status of the choosen server.
-
-
- 3.0 Troubleshooting
- -----------------------
- Be sure to have IPX and NETx loaded on your Workstation.
-
- IF ATTACH/NCOPY/SYSCON/PCONSOLE don't work, be sure to have enough memory
- to start these programs as child-process. If you haven't space enough
- try DOS 5.0 and QEMM386 6.0. (up to 620 kB free.)
-
- As these functions search for the Netware program in SYS:PUBLIC be
- sure to have the files(syscon.exe, pconsole.exe, attach.exe, ncopy.exe)
- located there.
-
- 4.0 Limitations
- -----------------------
- - up to 999 Objects.
- - only 32 groups shown a user could be in.
- - only 128 group members shown.
-
- If you are interested to extend the limitations please contact !
