Here's two utilities I've been writing. One is a network browser the other is
a user manager.
We use the Network Browser for remotely shutting down machines . I've removed
the code that does this bit so its safe to run it up and have a look at. There
is a facitity to view by different machine types (some of which I have no idea
what they are but they are in the list so I included them). The other
difference with this an Network Neighbourhood seems to be that Network
Neighbourhood appears to ask the browser in its domain about machines in other
domains. The browser program asks the other domains PDC (or browser) about the
machines in its domain.
The other program is for looking at account details and adding or deleting
accounts. Adding gives the an extra option over MS Usrmgr, it can create a $
share for the new user in a location you specify. On starting it checks to see
if you have such a share and will default to the new users share being in the
same location (this fails if you compile the script using perl2exe with the
-gui option). If you delete a user the script tries to remove their $ share.
I haven't added anything in to deal with groups.
I accidentally deleted the message someone sent me about making double clicks
work with listviews so haven't incorporate this into either script. I'll have
to check through the old messages to find it again.
Hope these prove useful to someone.
