The NetWare Usage Tool generates a statistic or a report of the number of users that logged in to the network over a specified period of time. If you are managing license agreement contracts, you will find this tool helpful as you prepare for audits.
To access NetWare Usage information, do the following:
Log in to NetWare Remote Manager.
See the NetWare Remote Manager Administration Guide for more information.
Under NetWare Usage, click Usage Information and follow the on-screen steps.
To set configuration options, see Setting Configuration Options.
Each server gathers information regarding authentications and saves the information in a database. A server is then assigned to be the collection server and the authentication information is passed to this server. The collection server gathers this information and displays it when the NetWare Usage Tool is executed. You can specify the collection server. See Setting Configuration Options for more information.
The NetWare Usage Tool uses NWUSAGE.NLM and NLSLRUP.NLM to gather the usage information. Other NLMTM programs that support these modules include CONNAUD.NLM, NLSMETER.NLM, and NLSADAPT.NLM.
NLSLRUP.NLM gathers information in its database only for NetWare 6 servers running in the same tree. Information is not available from NetWare 5 or NetWare 4 servers.
