Our Netware admin has come to me looking for some assistance in updating
the Netware password via a script across all of her servers (due to a
security requirement, they all have to be changed every 90 days now).  To
do it manually involves running a dsmc incr of one file on every server
and inputting the Netware ID and password.  Because of the number of
clusters, she's calculated that this change could take up to 36 hours
every time it needs to be done, and is looking for a way to shorten the
timeline.

I did suggest that she use the -nwuser=servername\user:password option.
When she tested it out, it worked for the session, but did not update the
password file.

Has anyone ever tried to do anything like this?

Thanks,

Kathleen
