Connect to Domain

In General for NT / 2000 :

Whatever action u r trying to achieve ( Browsing Network neighbhour hood,  Folder permissions, adding computer to domain...etc...) you can usually browse the list of domains and workgroups on the Network.

You will be prompted for a user name and password for the corresponding domain ...

List of users can be viewed by trying anything related to security and permissions; or using user manager if u r on a NT server.

> How can I get list of the users from Domain?

1) You must have admin authority in the domain
2) User_Manager will do this, yes, but recognize they are different for whether you are logged in or not. The code is on the CD
3) For questions regarding specific programming languages, use the EE TA for that language
4) Best way to connect is to login, with ID+password, without running the scripts

Use a batch file and pipe the output to a file.

look under net view

Net view yes  to view users and computers logged in
                 From: PatOBrien   Date: 03/12/2001 01:44PM PST

  Here's a batch file that will give you a list of users along with the groups that they belong to.  If
                 you want to save the output to a file for later printing, make the indicated changes....

                 To get permissions is another story.
