Q.
Dear Ab-end: I want to create 2000 users in NDS. Do you have a method to easily create this number of users? - Wanting an Easier Life
A.
Dear Wanting: Here's a Perl script you can run in the NetWare server that will help you:
At the NetWare prompt type:
PERL /*Loads the PERL.NLM*/ PERL MAKELDIF.PL *to run the .PL*/
Wait for the "Press any key to exit" prompt. This script creates an LDIF.DAT file in the root of the SYS: volume. Bulkload this file. You can edit the LDIF.DAT file as you need to. (Answer contributed by Gustave J. Gallardo, Novell Inc.)
