Search on objects and object properties

Syntax

NLIST [class type [property search option ] [object name ] [/basic option ] [display option ]] | [/? | /VER]

Parameter	Use to
class type	Specify an object type, such as USER, SERVER, PRINTER, GROUP, VOLUME, etc. For bindery servers (NetWare 3), replace class type with USER, SERVER, QUEUE, GROUP, or VOLUME. These are the only objects available in bindery services mode for NetWare 3.
property search option	Specify a search option. For online help, type NLIST /? R.
object name	Specify the name of the object you want information about.
/basic option	Specify any available option. See NLIST Options.
display option	Select how data is displayed. For online help, type NLIST /? D.

NLIST Options

Option	Use to
A	View users who are logged in.
B[= server name ]	View information stored in the bindery of the specified server. (Bindery servers only.)
C	Scroll continuously through information.
CO[=context ]	Set the context to be searched (NDS servers only).
D	View all object properties.
N	View object names.
S	Search all levels of the database, beginning at the current context.
SHOW[property ]	View a specific property of an object.
TREE	View all tree names visible from this login.

Using NLIST

Searching on objects and properties allows you to view specific groups of objects.

For example, you can view all users whose passwords will expire on a certain date. Or you can view all groups that have a particular user as a member.

You can use Property groups only with a bindery connection, or with bindery services.

USER, SERVER, QUEUE, GROUP, and VOLUME are the only objects you can search on in a bindery context.
