- RELEASE NOTES:
-
- Installing MUM:
- ---------------
- To install Mass User Management v1.3 (MUM) on your machine, put the Mass User
- Management disk into drive A:. Run windows and select "Run" from the
- "File" menu. Type "A:install.exe" and follow the prompts.
-
- After you have installed Mass User Management onto your machine, add an
- icon for MUM in the Program Manager group of your choice.
-
- Install Notes:
- 1. The NetWare drivers that are being shipped with this version are the
- same drivers from WINUP8.ZIP on CompuServe and ftp.novell.com. These
- drivers are for use with NETX.EXE. If you are using the VLMs, do not
- overwrite your NetWare drivers during installation of MUM.
- 2. If you try to run MUM and get the message "Cannot find file NETWARE.DLL",
- there is something wrong with your Windows Network configuration. Run
- "Windows Setup" from the "Main" program group. Select "Change System Settings"
- under the "Options" menu. Change the "Network" item to read "Novell NetWare
- (shell versions 3.26 and above)" and press "OK". Install new drivers from
- your original Windows disks. Restart Windows and run MUM again. If you
- still have the same problem, please contact us for help.
-
-
- Template files and Templates:
- -----------------------------
-
- Don't confuse the two. The template FILE contains multiple (up to 100)
- templates. MUM matches your department identifier field in your adding text
- file with template names found in the currently loaded template FILE.
-
-
-
- File extensions used by Mass User Management (MUM).
- ---------------------------------------------------
- The file extensions used by MUM are arbitrary and you can use any file
- extensions you wish at any time, but the following are used as defaults:
-
- *.tmp - Template files
- *.rpt - MUM report files
- *.txt - Text files
-
-
- Changes in Version 1.3:

- individual user.

- Changes in Version 1.2:
- -----------------------
-
- 1) The password options have been expanded to allow
- supervisors to provide their own passwords while adding
- users. An additional password field can now be included
- in the text file used to add accounts. Previously,
- supervisors could only provide a username.
- 2) Under the "Delete" menu, a menu item entitled "Delete
- Directories" was added to allow supervisors to delete ALL
- trustee directory assignments of users that were deleted
- using MUM. This option will delete the trustee
- directories, their files, and subdirectories. Note that
- this option will delete all files including hidden and
- read only files in the Trustee Directories given. We
- recommend using caution when using this new option.
- 3) Under all deleting options, supervisors can now execute a
- mock deleting run. This can be used to get a listing of
- trustee directory assignments (since the deleting options
- generate a list of trustee directory assignments of the
- deleted users).
- 4) Under all menu items on the "Modify" menu, supervisors can
- now modify user's account balance and low limit or add to
- the current account balance.
- 5) Also under all menu items on the "Modify" menu,
- supervisors can now modify user's volume restrictions for
- any or all volumes.
- 6) Under all menu items on the "Lists" menu, supervisors can
- now display user's current account balance and low limit.
- 7) Also under all menu items on the "Lists" menu, supervisors
- can now display user's current volume restrictions and
- current disk space in use for all volumes on the server.
- 8) MassMode (MassUser's child program) has a completely new
- user interface that facilitates error checking and keeps
- supervisor's completely informed of MUM's progress.
- 9) Some general bug fixes involving file sharing between
- MassUser and MassMode.
- 10) Some general bug fixes involving displaying windows
- on the "Modify" and "Lists" menus.
- 11) Help buttons have been added to all dialog boxes to
- allow easy access to on-line help.
