Siemens V4.0 manual Net Command, Administering Local and Remote Servers

Administering Advanced Server at the Command Prompt Net Command

9.2 Net Command

Many Advanced Server administrative tasks can be performed using the Net command at the Advanced Server command prompt. Although we recommend that you use the programs available through Windows NT Administrative Tools and Windows NT Server Tools to administer Advanced Server, the Net command-line interface also can be used.

The following sections summarize the Net commands that are available in Advanced Server and describes syntax and usage conventions.

9.2.1 Administering Local and Remote Servers

When you administer a server while you are working at the server command prompt, that server is called the local server. If you are administering a server from the command prompt of another server, the server being administered is called the remote server.

Some of your network users may be designated as account operators, print operators, or server operators. These users have limited administrative or operator privileges that enable them to perform specific tasks. These privileges are sufficient to use the Net command to administer a local server at the Advanced Server command prompt.

However, to use the Net command to administer a remote Advanced Server, you must be logged on to Advanced Server as an Administrator with full administrative privilege. If you have different operators responsible for parts of your network and you do not want to assign them full administrative privilege, then they must work only at the Advanced Server command prompt of the server being administered.

9.2.1.1Administering a Local Advanced Server

ÊTo administer a local Advanced Server using the Net command

1.Log on to the UNIX system hosting the Advanced Server.

2.At the UNIX system prompt, log on to the network as Administrator or as a user with administrative privileges by typing the following command:

username password

3.Enter the appropriate Net command. For example, to display a list of the server’s shared resources, type

net share

i

Remember to log off using the command net logoff when you have finished admin- istering Advanced Server, since log off will not be carried out automatically when you exit the UNIX shell.
