Hi all,
Sorry if this isn't in the right forum.

My IT dept will be swapping out my dept's server and has asked us to
clean out old files. Unfortunately it's not as simple as picking a date
and cleaning out files older than that.

I asked for a listing of files includes the file ownership info so I
can get everyone to check their own data. Unfortunately the listing I've
received looks like this....
PRSRV/GENVOL:COMMON\PMC\BECKY\*.*
Files Size Last Update Owner

----------------- ------------- ---------------
-------------------------
COMPED~1.DOC o 237,568 11/16/06 4:49p MBG
POOL_PI.DOC o 55,296 8/29/06 3:49p MKF
FLATBR~2.XLS o 72,582 9/11/08 3:02p MKF

The truncated file names is big deal. I have a lot of non-tech types.
It will be difficult for them to go through the files without the full
name.

So is there a way to get the following out of Netware as a list...
_Directory,_Full_File_Name,_Size,_Date/time,_Owner_
I can delete the extraneous data from the list.

I know that Netware "knows" this info because I can select an
individual file and see all of this.

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Toney

Looks like you generated the list using NDIR? Have you tried the /long
option?

Personally, never had problems with ndir but since NW5 hasn't been
supported for so long, anything could happen using the newer clients/OS
etc.

Try this:

http://www.novell.com/support/php/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=InfoDocument-2971887&sliceId=&docTypeID=DT_SUSESDB_PSDB_1_1&dialogID=84300624&stateId=0%200%2084298903

and perhaps use the /EO option - it will generate a CSV file that you can
import into a spreadsheet for further analysis/reporting.
