When you want to find information in the Directory database
without opening numerous containers to view the
objects, you can use the Search feature. With the Browse object right, you can search for object classes
anywhere in the Directory tree. With the Compare property right,
you can search for objects that have properties that match a particular
value. You can search for objects using NetWare Administrator, NETADMIN,
or NLIST. All procedures are described in this section. Searching for Objects Using NetWare Administrator | |
NetWare Administrator
searches each object in the Directory database unless you narrow
the search by specifying properties in combination with additional
variables such as "less than" or "equal
to." For example, to find all users in New York, you could search
for User objects with State or Province Name "equal to"
New York. The Search feature then displays objects that meet the
search criteria. A 386 or later workstation and NetWare
Administrator The Browse object right to the object you want to
see in the search
Procedure From the Windows Program Manager, click on the "NetWare
Administrator" icon. Select an object in the Directory tree where the
search should start. From the "Object" menu, select
"Search." A "Search" window appears. Select the browser icon to the right of the "Start
From" field to select an object from which to start the
search. Specify how much of the Directory tree to search. To search everything below the "Start
From" object, select "Search Entire Subtree." To search only among objects one level below the
"Start From" object, continue with Step 6.
Select the down-arrow to the right
of the "Search For" field to select an object
class to search. If you want all the objects of this
selected object class to be listed, choose "OK." If you want only objects that have properties that
match certain criteria to be listed, continue with Step 7.
(Optional) Select the down-arrow
to the right of the "Property" field to select
which property's value will be examined. The properties in this list change depending on which object
class you selected in the "Search For" field. (Optional) Select how you want to
compare a value to the selected property. You can select "Equal To," "Greater
Than," "Less Than," or other choices. (Optional) Enter a value in the field to the right
of the comparison method that you entered in Step 8. For example, if you are searching for a Profile object that
has the value "Manager's Profile" in
the Other Names property, you might select the property "Other
Names," then use the comparison method "Equal
To" and the value of "Manager's Profile." Choose "OK." Objects that match your selections are displayed in a "Search
Results" window.
Additional Information Searching for Objects Using NETADMIN | |
NETADMIN searches each object in the Directory database unless
you narrow the search by specifying properties in combination with
additional variables such as "less than" or "equal
to." For example, to find all users in New York, you could search
for User objects with State or Province Name "equal to"
New York. The Search feature then displays objects that meet the
search criteria. Prerequisites A workstation running DOS 3.30
or later and NETADMIN The Browse object right to the object you want to
see in the search
Procedure At the DOS prompt, type For information on moving around in NETADMIN and selecting
objects, press <F1> after starting the utility. From the "NETADMIN Options" menu,
choose "Manage According to Search Pattern." Enter the object name you want to search on in the
"Enter Object Name" field, use * to view all objects,
or limit the search by combining characters with the *. For example, if you want to view all objects whose names begin
with "P," enter "P*" in the
"Enter Object Name" field. In the "Object Class" field, select
the object class or classes for which you want to search. To search
for all object types, select "/All classes/." Press <Enter> to select the object classes. If the object classes you want to search on don't
appear in the "Object Classes Included" screen,
press <Insert> to select additional object classes.
If you want to view an Alias object as an alias
and not as the object the alias represents, choose "Yes"
in the "Show Alias Class" field. Press <F10>. Objects that match your selections are displayed in the browse
screen.
Additional Information Searching for Objects Using NLIST | |
NLIST is a workstation command
line utility that allows
you to List objects and object properties. View information about such objects as users, groups,
volumes, and servers (such as object properties, names, property
groups, and login information). Search for objects and object properties (including
groups of properties for objects) on NetWare 2 and NetWare 3 servers.
For information about using the NLIST command, see "NLIST"
in Utilities Reference. |
