Updating Large Domains via command line On a Windows 2000, NT 4.0, and XP computer, you can use command line utility to update large groups and domains. The workstation must have network access to the Snap server to be updated and to the PDC. The server must have a Microsoft Domain defined and enabled. If large user/group lists are not enabled, the utility updates the server and enables large lists. UGUpdate can be run from a batch file or scheduled automatically. To use this utility, open a shell prompt and type in the UGUpdate command. Using the command UGUpdate, the utility takes the parameters: SnapName | ipAddress – the server name or IP address to update AdminPassword - administrator password on the server to be updated PDCName | IpAddress - name of the primary domain controller on the network from which to retrieve the user/group list. For example, to update the users and groups for a Snap Server with the name SNAP30123, the administrator password of Everyday365, and a PDC named WinPDC, type the following into the command line: UGUpdate SNAP30123 "Everyday365" WinPDC and press Enter. The utility shows the message "SUCCESS" once the update is completed successfully. If the update was not successful, the utility shows the message "FAILED" and the reason for the error is displayed. Output status can be added to a log file, using standard command prompt redirection. To send the output to the log file in the example above, you would enter the command as: UGUpdate SNAP30123 "Everyday365" WinPDC >>logfile.txt If the administrator user has no password, the empty password can be defined by two double quotes. It is strongly recommended that all administrator user accounts have passwords.
