Disk Triage has support for sizing Novell's Netware shares. It requires the user running Disk Triage to have the Novell Client software installed on their machine in order to gather Novell specific information - such as File/Directory Owner and Trustee Rights.
File Owner
The file owner gathered is the full owner name. This means that it contains any Tree or domain information - for example: OU=MyDeptartment.OU=MyCompany.O=USA would be a sample Users name - dependingg on the tree structure.. This is different from the NTFS owner - which is just qualified by the Domain.
Trustee Rights
The Trustee Rights information gathered is also different than the NTFS Permissions. The Netware Trustee Rights are the rights assigned to the currently selected directory only. They do not include any inherited rights. So - if you have a directory with rights assigned to user 'X' - then those rights will show when the user is on that directory in the tree. If the user has a sub-branch of that directory selected - then the rights will not shown - even if they are inherited by the sub directory.
The reason for excluding inherited rights was performance. It was done to keep the scanning fairly quick. Gathering and displaying the Inherited Trustee Rights is a feature that will be considered in a future release if there is a demand for it.
NOTE: In order to gather Netware Trustee and Owner information you must have a Drive letter mapped. This information will not be gathered when scanning a \\Server\Share - you must first map a drive to this share - then perform the scan on the mapped drive.
As a note - during the development of this version I had help from a few Novell/Netware sources. I would like to thank the following for their help.
1. Alberto de la Torre
Alberto lives in Florida and is a Disk Triage customer. His phenominal knowledge of Netware enabled me to get my server installed and up and running quickly. He was able to trouble shoot the issues (bad network card and others) quickly over the phone. If you are in the Coral Springs area of Florida and need Netware services - I would recommend him!
2. The Sys Ops and Admins on the Netware user groups.
A quick note of thanks to the folks on the Netware user groups. They were very helpful in answering my questions about the various APIs needed to gather the information.
