Title: 3+ Name Service Utility to Recreate Name Service Entries
Date: 11/5/91
Copyright 3Com Corporation, 1991. All rights reserved.
NAMEDUMP.EXE is a unsupported 3+Name utility that will extract all valid
standard 3+ Name entries into ASCII files named ALIAS.UPD, GROUP.UPD,
ORGDOM.UPD, SERVER.UPD and USER.UPD.
Note: Entries such as an alias without a user name or a group member
that does not exist will be excluded from the ASCII files when they are
created by the NAMEDUMP utility. The excluded entries will be reported
during the NAMEDUMP execution and will be part of the output that needs
to be redirected to a file.
The NAMEBLD.EXE utility uses the ASCII files created by the NAMEDUMP
utility to recreate a 3+ Name service.
You can find NAMEDUMP.EXE and NAMEBLD.EXE in the Ask3Com forum, Unsupported
Utilities library, filename NAMEZ1.ZIP.
To recreate a 3+Name service, follow these steps:
1. Run a full backup of the Name Server.
2. Login as the Admin user and copy NAMEDUMP.EXE and NAMEBLD.EXE to a
local drive on the workstation.
3. Run NAMEDUMP.EXE from a local drive, using the DOS redirection
indicator ">" (for example, NAMEDUMP>LIST.TXT) to redirect the output to a
file that you will save. This file will contain any errors that exist in
the 3+ Name service.
4. If the name server is a 3Com server, establish a console connection to it.
(If the name server is a PC server, perform the following steps from
non-dedicated mode.)
5. Delete all the domain files from the \3PLUS\3NAME directory. The only
files that should be left in the 3NAME directory are NS_DEF.DOM and
NS_PROP.DIR.
6. Run 3namck /i from \3PLUS\3CONFIG directory.
Running 3namck /i creates a new default domain (NS_DOM.000). After
rebooting the server there will be the Admin user and Name server user.
7. Reboot the server in server mode.
8. Login as the Admin user that you created by running 3namck /i.
9. Execute NAMEBLD.EXE from the same local drive where you ran
NAMEDUMP.EXE.
When it is completed there will be a complete new 3+ Name service in
C:\3PLUS\3NAME directory, excluding any nonstandard users, aliases without
valid users, or groups with invalid user names.
10. Evaluate the output of the NAMEDUMP.EXE file that was saved, to check
for users or entries that need to be added back into the 3+ Name service.
