Overview

QRWIN is a program that will generate disk space usage statistics based on directory quotas for user accounts. The program will start at the specified NDS context and lookup all the user's "Home Directory" properties. It will then get the disk space usage information for the directory specified in NDS. For each user found in NDS, it will display the login name, directory quota, and directory space usage on the right hand side of the screen. Once the scan is completed, it will report summary statistics on the left hand side of the screen.

The above image shows the results after having QRWIN scan the NDS tree for user quota information.

 

System Requirements

Using QRWIN

Before starting QRWIN, be sure that you are using a Windows9x or WindowsNT workstation that has the Novell NetWare Client installed. This program will not work using the Microsoft NetWare client.  Also, be sure to login to the system as a user who has rights to read the NDS "Home Directory" property and has access to the file system for each user. If you don't have at least READ and FILE SCAN rights to the file system where the user's home directory is, you will not be able to determine the disk space usage information.

After starting QRWIN, you will probably want to adjust the summary options. The default options for the program is to calculate the summary in 5 meg increments from zero to 100 meg. Any quota/usage over 100 meg will be lumped together.  To change the default ranges, click the options button. When you do, you will be shown a dialog box like the one below.

Enter the maximum range of disk quotas you wish to have broken out and the step between each entry in the summary report. In the main screen shot above, the options were set to 200 meg and a step size of 10.  This results in a breakdown of usage from 0-10, 10-20, 20-30,... 190-200, 200+. 

Once you have selected the options the way you would like, you are ready to start getting the usage statistics. To begin, select the Run->Get Quotas menu option. When you do this, you will be presented with the dialog box shown below.

 

Enter  the starting NDS context that you wish to scan. If you want to scan your entire tree, enter [root] as the starting context. If you want to have QRWIN scan all the sub-portions of the NDS tree, be sure to click the Recurse Tree option. Once you press the OK button, the scan will begin.  Should you need to stop the scanning process, you can use the Cancel Search button.

Once the search is complete, the summary information will be displayed. For the individual user statistics on the right hand side, you can sort the list by clicking on the column header you wish to sort. Clicking on the column header a second time will cause the list to be sorted in reverse order.  If you wish to export the information displayed, select the information you wish to export in the list windows and select the menu option Edit->Copy (or use the Control-C key combination). This will copy the selected information to the clipboard. You can then paste it into a separate program such as Notepad to save the information.
