Details

The program has three major functions:

Home Directories
You can use the program to create new home directories, or use the program for re-creation of the HOME DIRECTORY attribute in the NDS after a migration and so on. The program has a few different user selection options, e.g.: Context, Group or LDIF file and more. You can select if you want to create the NDS home attribute or the HOME DIRECTORY itself (or both), and you can set the directory attributes, trustee rights, volume-space restrictions or directory quotas or ownership for all files in a HOME DIRECTORY (especially useful after a migration).

Other features of the program:

• The program can also mass remove home directories.
• CVS import.
• Set/Clear Default server of a user.
• Alias support in context search.
• Conditionally set the UserSpace/directory quota's.

User
You can create/update/modify/export and lots of other options on users.

Extra Directory
User based directories that are not a homedirectory but based upon some other attribute or just the name. Almost anything that can be done with a homedirectory can be done with an extra directory.

New version MassUser 3.06.07

• Copy default directory structure and the rights

• Copy attributes now during Homedirectory

Reader Comments

• MassUser (aka HomesPlus) has come a long way the past few months. The creator has made huge sweeping changes that have absolutely helped the product to excel and become one of the best tools I've ever used for Netware. It saved our school district countless hours of work when removing students who had graduated, finding their folders, as well as countless other operations. My biggest thanks to the creator of this program. He's been on the ball with fixes and enhancements and very accepting to change!
• 50% of home directories identified as obselete were actually in use. Poorly written. Reply: Please specify details of problem - HBware is unable to duplicate. Note: HomesPlus has been renamed to MassUser and will soon be posted with extra features.
