Subject: [ADSM-L] Updating a Netware password via a script.

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
