.1 SYNTAX
:1

   The following conventions are used to indicate command syntax:

   þ  Capital letters represent words that must be typed as shown. Lower-
      case letters represent names of items that may vary, such as filenames.

   þ  The [ and ] characters surround optional items that can be supplied
      with the command.

   þ  The { and } characters surround lists of items. You must supply one
      of the items with the command.

   þ  The | character separates items in a list. Only one of the items can
      be supplied with the command.

      For example, in the following syntax, you must type NET COMMAND and
      either SWITCH1 or SWITCH2. Supplying a name is optional.
          NET COMMAND [name] {SWITCH1 | SWITCH2}

   þ  The [...] characters mean you can repeat the previous item.
      Separate items with spaces.

   þ  The [,...] characters mean you can repeat the previous item, but
      you must separate items with commas or semicolons, not spaces.

$1 There are no options for this topic. This topic is about how to
   read syntax lines. It is not a NET command.

.1 NET
.2     ACCOUNTS
:2              [/FORCELOGOFF:{minutes | NO}] [/MINPWLEN:length]
                [/MAXPWAGE:{days | UNLIMITED}] [/MINPWAGE:days]
                [/UNIQUEPW:number] [/DOMAIN]
   NET ACCOUNTS [/SYNC] [/DOMAIN]

#2 NET ACCOUNTS updates the user accounts database and modifies password
   and logon requirements for all accounts.
   When used without options, NET ACCOUNTS displays the current settings for
   password, logon limitations, and domain information.

   Two conditions are required in order for options used with
   NET ACCOUNTS to take effect:

   þ  The password and logon requirements are only effective if user
      accounts have been set up (use User Manager or the NET USER command).

   þ  The Net Logon service must be running on all servers in the domain
      that verify logon. Net Logon is started automatically when Windows NT
      starts.

   /SYNC                         Updates the user accounts database.
   /FORCELOGOFF:{minutes | NO}   Sets the number of minutes a user has
                                 before being forced to log off when the
                                 account expires or valid logon hours expire.
                                 NO, the default, prevents forced logoff.
   /MINPWLEN:length              Sets the minimum number of characters for
                                 a password. The range is 0-14 characters;
                                 the default is 6 characters.
   /MAXPWAGE:{days | UNLIMITED}  Sets the maximum number of days that a
                                 password is valid. No limit is specified
                                 by using UNLIMITED. /MAXPWAGE can't be less
                                 than /MINPWAGE. The range is 1-49710; the
                                 default is 90 days.
   /MINPWAGE:days                Sets the minimum number of days that must
                                 pass before a user can change a password.
                                 A value of 0 sets no minimum time. The range
                                 is 0-49710; the default is 0 days. /MINPWAGE
                                 can't be more than /MAXPWAGE.
   /UNIQUEPW:number              Requires that a user's passwords be unique
                                 through the specified number of password
                                 changes. The maximum value is 8.
   /DOMAIN                       Performs the operation on the domain
                                 controller of the current domain. Otherwise,
                                 the operation is performed on the local
                                 workstation.

                                 This parameter applies only to Windows NT
                                 computers that are members of a Windows NT
                                 Advanced Server domain but do not have
                                 Windows NT Advanced Server software
                                 installed.
                                 By default, Windows NT Advanced Server
                                 computers perform operations on the domain
                                 controller.

                     [/HIDDEN:{YES | NO}]
#3 NET CONFIG SERVER displays or changes settings for the Server service.

   /AUTODISCONNECT:time    Sets the maximum number of minutes a user's
                           session can be inactive before it is disconnected.
                           You can specify -1 to never disconnect. The range
                           is -1-65535 minutes; the default is -1.
   /SRVCOMMENT:"text"      Adds a comment for the server that is displayed in
                           Windows NT Screens and with the NET VIEW command.
                           The comment can have as many as 48 characters.
                           Enclose the text in quotation marks.
   /HIDDEN:{YES | NO}      Specifies whether the server's computername
                           appears on display listings of servers. Note that
                           hiding a server does not alter the permissions
                           on that server. The default is NO.

   To display the current configuration for the Server service,
   type NET CONFIG SERVER without parameters.

                          [/CHARWAIT:sec]
#3 NET CONFIG WORKSTATION displays or changes settings for
   the Workstation service.

   /CHARCOUNT:bytes   Specifies the amount of data Windows NT collects
                      before sending the data to a communication device.
                      If /CHARTIME:msec is also set, Windows NT acts on
                      whichever option is satisfied first.
                      The range is 0-65535 bytes; the default is 16 bytes.
   /CHARTIME:msec     Sets the number of milliseconds Windows NT collects
                      data before sending the data to a communication device.
                      If /CHARCOUNT:bytes is also set, Windows NT acts on
                      whichever option is satisfied first. The range
                      is 0-655350000 milliseconds; the default is
                      250 milliseconds.
   /CHARWAIT:sec      Sets the number of seconds Windows NT waits for a
                      communication device to become available. The range
                      is 0-65535 seconds; the default is 3600 seconds.

#2 NET LOCALGROUP modifies local groups on servers. When used without
   options, it displays the local groups on the server.

   groupname        Is the name of the local group to add, expand, or
                    delete. Supply only a groupname to view a list of
                    users or global groups in a local group.
   /DOMAIN          Performs the operation on the domain controller
                    of the current domain. Otherwise, the operation is
                    performed on the local workstation.
                    This parameter applies only to Windows NT computers that
                    are members of a Windows NT Advanced Server domain but
                    do not have Windows NT Advanced Server software
                    installed. By default, Windows NT Advanced Server
                    computers perform operations on the domain
                    controller.
   name [ ...]      Lists one or more usernames or groupnames to add or to
                    remove from a local group. Separate multiple entries with
                    a space. Names may be users or global groups, but not
                    other local groups. If a user is from another domain,
                    preface the username with the domain name (for
                    example, SALES\RALPHR).
   /ADD             Adds a groupname or username to a local group. An account
                    must be established for users or global groups added to a
                    local group with this command.

.2     NAME
:2          [name [/ADD | /DELETE]]
#2 NET NAME adds or deletes a messaging name (alias) at a workstation.
   A messaging name is a name to which messages are sent. When used without
   options, NET NAME displays the names accepting messages at the computer.

   A workstation's list of names comes from three places:

   þ  Message names, which are added with NET NAME

   þ  A computername, which is added as a name when the Workstation
      service is started. This name cannot be deleted.

   þ  A username, which is added as a name when you log on, if it
      is not being used at another workstation. This name can be deleted.

   name      Specifies the name to receive messages. The name can have as
             many as 15 characters.
   /ADD      Adds a name to a workstation. Typing /ADD is optional; typing
             NET NAME name works the same way as typing NET NAME name /ADD.
   /DELETE   Removes a name from a computer.

:2             \\computername\sharename
             [\\computername] job# [/HOLD | /RELEASE | /DELETE]

#2 NET PRINT displays print jobs and shared queues.
   For each queue, the display lists jobs, showing the size
   and status of each job, and the status of the queue.

   \\computername           Is the name of the server sharing the printer
                            queue(s).
   sharename                Is the name of the shared printer queue.
   job#                     Is the identification number assigned to a print
                            job. A server with one or more printer queues
                            assigns each print job a unique number.
   /HOLD                    Prevents a job in a queue from printing.
                            The job stays in the printer queue, and other
                            jobs bypass it until it is released.
   /RELEASE                 Reactivates a job that is held.
   /DELETE                  Removes a job from a queue.

.1 NAMES
:1

   The following types of names are used with Windows NT:

   Messaging Name    A name to which messages can be sent. Each workstation's
                     computername and the username logged on at that
                     workstation are added to its list of names. Use the
                     NET NAME command to view a workstation's names or to
                     add new ones.

   Computername      A unique name that identifies a workstation or server on
                     the local-area network.

   Devicename        The name by which Windows NT identifies a disk resource
                     or printer. A disk resource is identified by a drive
                     letter followed by a colon (for example, D:). A
                     printer is identified by a port name followed by a colon
                     (for example, LPT1:).

   Workgroup         A group of computers on the network. Each workgroup
                     has a unique name.

   Localgroup        A group of names in a Workgroup that are granted the
                     same rights.

   Domain            A group of servers and workstations on the network. A
                     domain has a unique name. Usually, you must log on in
                     a domain to gain access to the network. Domains are
                     created and managed with Windows NT Advanced Server.

   Global group      A group of names in a domain that are granted the
                     same rights.

   Filename          The name of a file. Under the file allocation table
                     (FAT) file system, a filename can have as many as eight
                     characters, followed by a period (.) and an extension of
                     as many as three characters. Under NTFS and HPFS, a
                     filename can have as many as 254 characters.

   Network path      A description of the location of a shared resource,
                     consisting of a server's computername followed by
                     the sharename of the resource. The computername
                     is preceded by two backslashes, and the sharename is
                     preceded by one backslash (for example,
                     \\SERVER1\RESOURCE).

   Path              The location of a directory. A path can consist of a
                     devicename and one or more directory names. A
                     backslash (\) precedes each directory name (for example,
                     C:\CUSTOMER\CORP\ACCT).

   Pathname          A path and a filename. The filename is preceded by a
                     backslash (\) (for example, C:\CUSTOMER\CORP\REPORT.DOC).

   Sharename         A name that identifies a shared resource on a server. A
                     sharename is used with the server's computername to form
                     a network path (as in \\SERVER\RESOURCE).

   Username          The name a person supplies when logging on at
                     a workstation.

/*
    This is how this file works. NET HELP looks for a match between the command
    specified at run time and one of the entries in this file. For each entry
    in this file there can be associated with it a subentry, which constitutes
    an switch for that command (or sub-command). HELP (NET HELP) first searches
    for a match at level 1. If it finds a match at this level it continues
    searching for a sub-level (if one was specified at run time). As HELP
    finds matches it displays them , by doing so it builds the command
    in it's proper syntax. If no sub commands were entered at run time HELP
    stops and displays the help associated with that level.

    SOME RULES:
      Operators are the funny 2 character symbols that start every line -
      they are the characters !, %, ., :, and # followed by a alphanumeric
      character.

      Every operator must start in column 1.

      Every operator must be separated from the info that follows it by at
      least one space.

      The end of every line must contain a newline. (Trailing spaces will
      causes matches to fail on ".X" entries.)

      Every ".1" entry MUST have a corresponding "#1" entry.


    This file consists of 4 sections. These sections are ...

     COMMENTS are delimited by a "/*" at the beginning of a line (must
         start in column 1) indicating the beginning of the comment section.
         A "*/" at the beginning of a line marks the end of the comment sec-
         tion. Only two comment section are allowed, one at the very be-
         ginning of the file and one at the very end. It is recommended that
         the comment section at the beginning of the file be kept very
         small to minimize access time to "help data" by the help command.

     ALIASES are defined by a "%A" beginning in column 1. Aliases allow
         you to define another name for a given command. For example if
         you wish to change the name of the "ALERTER" to "WATCHDOG"
         you could do so by entering the line,

                %A ALERTER: WATCHDOG

         starting at column 1. If there are additional Aliases they should
         be specified on the same line separated by commas. This tells the
         help command that if someone types "net help watchdog" they really
         mean "net help alerter."  Trailing spaces are significant (for this
         release) in alias names. Beware!

     COMMANDS are additional commands that you want NET HELP to document.
         They are defined by placing !C operator (yes starting in column
         1) followed by the command name on a separate line.
         An example of this is the AT commands. This
         is not really NET commands but you can get help on it through
         NET by entering it with the COMMANDS section in this file. For
         example if you want to get help on your PHONE command that you wrote
         and the only help utility you have is the NET HELP utility. To
         add phone to this utility you must place the following line in the
         Commands section of this file,

               !C PHONE

         starting in column 1. Now all that remains is to add the PHONE
         help data to the DATA section of this file. (See DATA below)
         (YES, you can assign aliases to commands that you declare in this
         section. But you must assign the aliases in the alias section
         first.)

     DATA is the actual text that gets printed when you request help.
         The format for the data section is set up in a way such that
         the NET HELP command picks up information about a command as it
         reads through this file. The format of the data section is as
         follows;

         The Command Name (this is the proper name used to reference a
         specific command - any other name used to access this command should
         be entered in the alias list above) should be preceded by a
         ".1". This defines that this Command Name would normally be the
         first thing typed when entering the command. An example of a ".1"
         Command Name would be NET. When HELP finds this entry, it knows
         what follows pertains to the NET command. What follows this ".1"
         entry can be one of 2 possible fields. The syntax operator ":1" or
         a sub switch operator ".2".

              Another option of the NET command could follow. If, as it
         does, the NET command has many options that can be specified, they
         should be enumerated on separate lines.  Each level of help for a
         specific command constitutes a higher "dot number". I think an
         example would make this clearer. Lets look at a help entry for the
         NET START command. The NET START command has additional options.
         NET START [SERVER WORKSTATION ALERTER ...etc]. In this example NET
         is the ".1" entry, START is a ".2" entry and SERVER, WKSTA, and
         ALERTER are all ".3" entries.

         .1     NET
         .2         START
         .3          SERVER
         .3          ALERTER
         .3          WORKSTATION

         In the example above I indented each level, this helps you
         visualize what's going on and is legal to do as long as the
         .X starts in column 1.

         This is all fine and well but what about the help for NET
         START SERVER. As stated before HELP allows two levels of
         assistance , Syntax and Help. You may choose to have the help
         be the same for all NET START options but obviously want
         different syntax displayed for each option. In order to do
         this you must place the help for any option (or sub-option)
         in the file prior to the help for the actual command. Sticking
         with our original example, lets assume that the SERVER and
         the WORKSTATION have enough in common that they want to share
         the same help message, but the alerter has some different
         information. We can accomplish this by specifying syntax, but
         no help for the SERVER and WORKSTATION options and specifying
         both for the ALERTER.

         .1     NET
         .2         START
         .3          SERVER
(Syntax)    :3              /Security /Autodisconnect ...etc
         .3          ALERTER
(Syntax)    :3
(Help)         #3              The alerter is the service that bla bla bla...etc
         .3          WORKSTATION

(Syntax)    :3              /Computername /Chartime ...etc
(Syntax)    :2
(Help)         #2          This is the help for NET START bla ... etc

          In the example above you will note a couple of things.
         First, I introduced two new operators ":" and "#". As indicated by
         the parentheses the ":" operator defines syntax data and "#"
         defines help data. Secondly, you may have noticed there were no
         syntax entries for the NET START ALERTER or NET START. In the
         case of NET START ALERTER, there may be no more syntax to be
         specified, since HELP generates the syntax as it reads the entries.
         In the case of NET START, leaving the syntax field blank, tells
         HELP to generate an option lists for the START command from the
         .3 entries found contained in the START section. If however,
         syntax information would have been placed there, HELP would have
         displayed the supplied information.

          This behavior can be expanded to 8 levels of sub-options.
         All level 1 (".1") entries must have a help ("#1") entry. The end
         of the data section must be marked by the following lines,

         :0
         #0

         beginning in column 1. There can be no more than 512 characters in
         the option field including the spaces between the options and the
         brackets. White space following the ".X" operators is ignored, white
         space following the ":X" and "#X" operators is printed exactly as
         entered. If data is entered on the next line following the syntax or
         help operators it is printed as entered, except that the first three
         columns are always ignored.
