BindView... and a Netware Query

[LAUST]

I've got Bindview 6.1 here and am trying to figure out the best way to list all the home directory's that have no owners in the Tree.

I do a search by Owner and Trustee but it doesn't seem to come across with complete data. Some directory's show a listing of no owner and almost all of them list no trustee.

Anyone use Bindview much let alone with Novell?

Well I never ran bindview, but I used to do a lot of Novell support. All home dir's should have at least 1 trustee, if they were setup correctly in nwadmin. What version of Novell? Does DSREPAIR run clean?

It's 4.11,

Thats why I was confused also. I have no clue how it's reporting no trustee, something should come up. I figured anything that showed up with NO trustee would be my list of DIR's with no user in the tree.

it's my 2nd week here so I'm just cleaning up after some problem admining.

Looks like I'm gonna have to pull it up by last date modified and just work from there :/

DSREPAIR runs clean, sometimes a few inconsistancies but nothing with the user containers or anything.

Ohhhhh I can't wait to roll out to W2K 🙂

Yeah, probably misconfigured. Not using trustee assignments for user directories is a big bad security no-no for Novell. Funny thing is, you have to go out of your way to NOT assign the user as a trustee to his own directory. Was this some kind of botched upgrade from 3.12 maybe? Or was there a disaster recovery at some point that was maybe a little sloppy? Good luck with win2k AD. I haven't used it but I've heard some good things.

Everything has trustee's but Bindview isn't picking them up.. Man what a hoakey pile of code.
