The NET command accepts a subset of the LAN Manager Net commands and attempts to perform the equivalent ADMINISTER command. This provides some level of backward compatability with PATHWORKS LAN Manager servers.

Format

NET [/qualifier] command-line

Parameters

command-line

Specifies the Net command line that you wish to process.

Qualifiers

/TRANSLATE

The /TRANSLATE qualifier must precede the command-line parameter. Use it to display the equivalent ADMINISTER command without performing the command action. This enables you to determine the equivalent command without actually performing the command.

Examples

 LANDOFOZ\\TINMAN> NET/TRANSLATE ACCOUNT 
 Translated command is: SHOW ACCOUNT POLICY 
      

This example translates the LAN Manager NET ACCOUNT command into the equivalent ADMINISTER command and displays the resulting translation without performing the command action.

 LANDOFOZ\\TINMAN> NET ACCOUNT 
 Account Policy for domain "LANDOFOZ": 
 
 Minimum password age (days) : 1 
 Maximum password age (days) : 90 
 Minimum password length : 0 
 Length of password history maintained : None 
 Force user logoff after logon hours expire : NO 
 Lock out account after how many bad password attempts : Never 
 Role of server TINMAN : Primary Domain Controller 
 
 
 
 
 
      

This example translates the LAN Manager NET ACCOUNT command into the equivalent ADMINISTER command (SHOW ACCOUNT POLICY) and performs the command action.

Pauses a currently active OpenVMS Advanced Server print queue. Use the SHOW PRINT QUEUES command to display the list of available queues. This command performs the same function as the SET PRINT QUEUE queue-name /PAUSE command.

Format

PAUSE PRINT QUEUE queue-name [/qualifiers]

restrictions

This command is valid only to Compaq OpenVMS servers. Use of this command requires membership in the Administrators, Server Operators, or Print Operators local group.

Related Commands

ADD PRINT QUEUE
CONTINUE PRINT QUEUE
REMOVE PRINT QUEUE
SET PRINT QUEUE
SHOW PRINT QUEUES

Parameters

queue-name

Specifies the name of the print queue for which to pause printing.

Qualifiers

/CONFIRM

/NOCONFIRM

Controls whether you are prompted for a confirmation before the operation is performed. The default is /CONFIRM if running in interactive mode. When the prompt is issued, the default response is shown, and you may accept the default by pressing Return or Enter. If you type YES, TRUE, or 1, the operation is performed. If you type NO, FALSE, 0, or enter Ctrl/Z, no action is performed. If you type anything else, the prompt is repeated until you type an acceptable response. No prompt for confirmation is issued if running in batch mode.

/SERVER=server-name

Specifies the name of the server where the specified print queue resides. The default is the server currently being administered.

Example

LANDOFOZ\\TINMAN> PAUSE PRINT QUEUE LN03/NOCONFIRM 
%PWRK-S-QUESET, queue "LN03" paused on server "TINMAN" 
      

This example pauses the print queue LN03 on the server currently being administered (TINMAN). A confirmation is not required.

Pauses a currently active service. You can pause only the Server and NetLogon services. Use the SHOW SERVICES command to display the available services.

Pausing the Server service prevents users from making new connections to the server's shared resources; however, users who have already connected to shared resources can continue to use the resources. Pausing the Server service does not prevent users who are members of the Administrators group from connecting to the service.

Pausing the NetLogon service prevents the server from synchronizing the domain's security accounts database. The server will not validate logons.

Format

PAUSE SERVICE servicename [/qualifiers]

restrictions

Use of this command requires membership in the Administrators local group or the Server Operators local group. You cannot pause the Replicator and Messenger services from the Advanced Server.

Example

LANDOFOZ\\TINMAN> REMOVE COMPUTER DOROTHY 
Removing computer "DOROTHY" from domain "LANDOFOZ" will render it 
incapable of authenticating domain logons until it is added to another 
domain. 
 
Do you want to continue with the removal [YES or NO] (YES) : YES 
%PWRK-S-COMPREM, computer "DOROTHY" removed from domain "LANDOFOZ" 
      

This example removes the computer named DOROTHY from the default domain's (LANDOFOZ) security database. A confirmation is displayed.

Permanently removes a local or global group from a domain's security database.

Be sure you want to delete a group before you do so, because a deleted group cannot be recovered. The server knows every group by its security identifier (SID), a unique number that identifies it. If you delete a group and then create another group with the same name, the new group will not have any of the permissions that were previously granted to the old group, because the groups have different SID numbers.

Format

REMOVE GROUP group-name [/qualifiers]

Example

LANDOFOZ\\TINMAN> REMOVE GROUP MUNCHKINS 
Each group is represented by a unique identifier that is independent 
of the group name.  Once this group is deleted, even creating an 
identically named group in the future will not restore access to 
resources which currently name this group in the access control list. 
 
Remove group "MUNCHKINS" [YES or NO] (YES) : YES 
%PWRK-S-GROUPREM, group "MUNCHKINS" removed from domain "LANDOFOZ" 
      

This example removes the group named MUNCHKINS from the default domain (LANDOFOZ). A confirmation is required.

No prompt for confirmation is issued if running in batch mode.

/HOSTUSER

Indicates that the specified user name is an OpenVMS user name. All Advanced Server user account mappings to the specified OpenVMS user name will be removed.

Note that more than one Advanced Server user name may be mapped to a single OpenVMS user name. Use the SHOW HOSTMAP command to check. Removing the mappings for an OpenVMS user name may result in the removal of more than one Advanced Server user name mapping.

Do not specify both /HOSTUSER and /NETUSER on the same command line.

/NETUSER

Indicates that the specified user name is an Advanced Server user name. The account mapping for the specified Advanced Server user name will be removed. This is the default if you specify neither /NETUSER nor /HOSTUSER. Do not specify both /HOSTUSER and /NETUSER on the same command line.

/SERVER=server-name

Specifies the name of the server on which to remove the host account mapping. The default is the server currently being administered.

Removes an existing OpenVMS Advanced Server print queue.

Before deleting a printer queue (one that points directly to an OpenVMS execution queue), execute the following commands, in the order shown:

1. PAUSE PRINT QUEUE --- to pause the print queue. You do not have to pause a routing queue before deleting it. (When you use the REMOVE PRINT QUEUE command to delete a print queue, the queue is not deleted until all jobs in that queue complete.)
2. REMOVE PRINT QUEUE --- to delete any routing queues that point to the printer queue.

Then, use the REMOVE PRINT QUEUE command to delete the printer queue.

To delete a print queue and all pending jobs in that queue except the job currently printing, first use the SET PRINT QUEUE/PURGE command to delete the pending print jobs, then use the REMOVE PRINT QUEUE command.

To remove a print queue and all jobs in its queue, including the one currently printing, use the following commands, in the order shown:

1. SET PRINT QUEUE/PURGE --- to delete all pending print jobs.
2. SET PRINT JOB/DELETE --- to delete the currently printing job.
3. REMOVE PRINT QUEUE --- to delete the queue.

Format

Removes the specified domain from the list of domains this domain trusts, or the list of domains that are allowed to trust this domain.

Removing a trust relationship requires two steps on each of the two domains: one domain must stop trusting a second domain, and the second domain must stop permitting the first domain to trust it. Never remove a trust relationship by performing just one of the steps.

When removing a trust relationship, always administer both domains. Once a trust relationship is established, the password used to establish the trust is changed by the system. Because of this, you cannot remove one side of an established trust relationship, and then later reestablish that trust using the original password. You must always remove both sides of a trust relationship, and then completely reestablish it.

Format

REMOVE TRUST trust-domain [/qualifiers]

restrictions

Use of this command requires membership in the Administrators local group.

Parameters

trust-domain

Specifies the name of the domain for which to remove a trust relationship.

Qualifiers

/CONFIRM

/NOCONFIRM

Controls whether you are prompted for a confirmation before the operation is performed. The default is /CONFIRM if running in interactive mode. When the prompt is issued, the default response is shown, and you may accept the default by pressing Return or Enter. If you type YES, TRUE, or 1, the operation is performed. If you type NO, FALSE, 0, or enter Ctrl/Z, no action is performed. If you type anything else, the prompt is repeated until you type an acceptable response. No prompt for confirmation is issued if running in batch mode.

/DOMAIN=domain-name

Specifies the name of the domain from which to remove the trust relationship. The default is the domain currently being administered. Do not specify both /DOMAIN and /SERVER on the same command line.

/PERMITTED

Specifies that the domain should be removed from the list of domains that are permitted to trust this domain. Be sure to administer the specified domain and remove this domain from its list of trusted domains. You must specify either the /PERMITTED or /TRUSTED qualifier, but not both.

/SERVER=server-name

Specifies the name of a server that is a member of the domain from which to remove the trust relationship. Do not specify the /SERVER qualifier with the /DOMAIN qualifier.

/TRUSTED

Specifies that the domain should be removed from the list of domains that this domain trusts. Be sure to administer the specified domain and remove this domain from its list of permitted-to-trust domains. You must specify either the /PERMITTED or /TRUSTED qualifier, but not both.

Examples

The following two examples together show how to remove a one-way trust relationship between the domain currently being administered (LANDOFOZ) and the domain called KANSAS. After this trust relationship has been removed, users in the KANSAS domain will no longer have access to resources in the LANDOFOZ domain.

 LANDOFOZ\\TINMAN> REMOVE TRUST KANSAS/TRUSTED 
 Removing domain "KANSAS" from the Trusted Domains List will prevent 
 users in domain "KANSAS" from accessing resources in domain 
 "LANDOFOZ". If you choose to continue, you must also administer 
 domain "KANSAS" and remove "LANDOFOZ" from its list of Permitted 
 Domains. 
 
 Do you want to continue with the removal [YES or NO] (YES) : YES 
 %PWRK-S-TRUSTREM, trust between domains "LANDOFOZ" and "KANSAS" 
 removed 
      

This example removes the domain KANSAS from the list of trusted domains on the domain currently being administered (LANDOFOZ). A confirmation is required.

 LANDOFOZ\\TINMAN> REMOVE TRUST LANDOFOZ/DOMAIN=KANSAS/PERMITTED 
 
 Removing domain "LANDOFOZ" from the Permitted Domains List will 
 prevent users in domain "KANSAS" from accessing resources in domain 
 "LANDOFOZ". If you choose to continue, you must also administer 
 domain "LANDOFOZ" and remove "KANSAS" from its list of Trusted 
 Domains. 
 
 Do you want to continue with the removal [YES or NO] (YES) : YES 
 %PWRK-S-TRUSTREM, trust between domains "KANSAS" and "LANDOFOZ" 
 removed 
      

This example removes the domain LANDOFOZ from the list of permitted-to-trust domains on the domain called KANSAS. This completes the removal of the trust relationship between domains LANDOFOZ and KANSAS initiated in the first example. A confirmation is required.
