Title: Copying Account Information From One 3+Open Server to Another
Date: 12/14/89

It is possible to duplicate the account information between
3+Open servers without retyping the data.  The NET.ACC file,
contained in \3OPEN\SERVER\LANMAN\ACCOUNTS, holds the account
information for each server.  The NET.ACC file can be copied from
one server to another to duplicate the information.  Here are
the steps:

1.  Copy the NETACC.BKP file from Server1 (the server with the
desired account information) to the root directory of Server2.


If Server2 is a PC server:

 2.  Type NET STOP SERVER /Y
 3.  Copy C:\NETACC.BKP to C:\3OPEN\SERVER\LANMAN\ACCOUNTS\NET.ACC
 4.  Type NET START SERVER
 5.  Type NET LOAD SRVSHARE.PRO

(Starting the server service after it has been stopped requires
reloading the desired profile, typically SRVSHARE.PRO as shown above.)


If Server2 is a 3Server:

 2.  Log on to an OS/2 workstation as admin
 3.  Type NET ADMIN \\SERVER2 /C
 4.  Execute a command file containing the following commands:

       NET STOP SERVER /Y
       COPY C:\NETACC.BKP C:\3OPEN\SERVER\LANMAN\ACCOUNTS\NET.ACC
       NET START SERVER /Y
       NET LOAD SRVSHARE.PRO

     (Starting the server service after it has been stopped
     requires reloading the desired profile, typically SRVSHARE.PRO
     as shown above.)

     The execution of this command file will cause the remote
     administration connection to be lost temporarily, but it
     will return after the server service starts.

Server2 is now referring to its own copy of the accounts file
from Server1.

Note:  If you want to keep a copy of Server2's old NET.ACC file,
copy NETACC.BKP (in the ACCOUNTS subdirectory) to another file.
Every night the NET.ACC file is backed up to the NETACC.BKP file, so
the old NET.ACC file will be lost after the first backup of the new
NET.ACC file, unless you have copied it to another file.
