Managing NetWare Directory Services
UIMPORT
UIMPORT
Use this utility at a client workstation to create, delete, and update User
objects and their properties by importing user information from an existing
database into the Directory database.
Using UIMPORT
This utility is particularly valuable if you have hundreds or thousands of user
records that you want to record in NetWare Directory Services without
having to manually re-create each user.
Any application capable of converting records to a comma-separated ASCII
file can work with UIMPORT.
Use UIMPORT to automate the maintenance of your Directory database
when you want to
• Create User objects in the NDS database using records from another database.
• Update User properties in the NDS database when records are changed in your
original database program.
• Delete User objects when their accounts on the network are no longer needed.
