What are the commands to view the NetWare registry

fix

Starting with NetWare 5, servers keep their SET parameters in a database using the NetWare Configuration Database Engine (CDBE). This has similar functionality to the registry used by Windows systems (3.x, 95, 98, NT). The CDBE stores settings in the SERVCFG.000 file which is located on the server boot directory (normally C:\NWSERVER).

The following commands can be typed at the server console to view the NetWare registry.

DISPLAY ENVIRONMENT will display all SET parameters and their values.

SAVE ENVIRONMENT ENV-ALL.TXT will create SYS:ENV-ALL.TXT with the entire environment listed.

DISPLAY MODIFIED ENVIRONMENT will display all settings that have been changed from the NetWare defaults.

SAVE MODIFIED ENVIRONMENT ENV-MOD.TXT will create SYS:ENV-MOD.TXT with a copy of all settings that have been changed from the NetWare defaults.

SAVE NOTPER ENVIRONMENT ENV-NPER.TXT (NetWare 5.x) or SAVE NONPER ENVIRONMENT ENV-NPER.TXT (NetWare 6.x) will create SYS:ENV-NPER.TXT with a list of non-persistent variables.

SAVE PER ENVIRONMENT ENV-PER.TXT will create SYS:ENV-PER.TXT with at list of persistent variables.

note

These files should be viewed with WordPad rather than NotePad due to formatting.
